Frederick Gehringer: Barrow Lender, Lodging House Keeper and Crime Lord?

[The Rookie Detective]

The Geringher family seems to have had familial links to Spitalfields area prior to Frederick Geringher the senior relocatingthat from Germany to Brick Lane.

Sebastian and Andrew Schwartz of 3 White's Row reference the family name in their will. Intriguingly, Andrew Schwartz appears to have incremently disinherited Frederic Gehringer (the senior) in a series of amendments to his will.

Wow, what an exceptional post!


There's a lot to digest, but that's a good thing.


I agree that it is evident that Frederick is slowly outcast from the will over time.

That is quite revealing


Another point that I find interesting; is that this proves that the Gehringer family was linked to the Schwartz family.


It makes me wonder whether there's any significance to that point.


The supposed witness/ghost of Berner Street; Israel Schwartz springs to mind.


Can you imagine if he could be definitively linked to this Schwartz family in the data you posted above?


That would be quite a coincidence



I will endeavour to add to this thread in due course.



Fascinating thread
