Trying to find Flatau

Hi Rosalyn,

I know you posted this 5 years ago but crikey I hope you get this!!

I am writing from Australia & I was trying to post search for Samuel Flatan & came across your entry on Flatau....

We have been trying to locate info on our g g grandfather Benjamin Leon Miers who migrated here about 1847.

The info we have recently received all but confirms that these people are Ben's family. He was listed on the 1841 English Census as a 5 year old. We believe that his mother Jane Meyer (nee Woolf) married Samuel Flatan in 1837 & the document tells us she previously married Leon Meyers in November 1835. The occupants of Well St, Aldgate are recorded as - Samuel Flanter, 24, Sophia 25, Benjamin Miers 5, Frances Flanter 3, Sophia 2, & a Woolf Flanter 25. Are any of these names familiar to you?

We have so many questions & hope you can help us.
