Gerardus Albertus ten Bruggenkate was in 1821 a countinghouse operator at 7 George Yard in London11 In 1822 he was a stationer. He is twice listed in "The Bankrupt Directory: Being a Complete Register of All the Bankrupts, with ..." by George Elwick (publ. in 1843 by Simpkin). First on Jan 2, 1821 as Gerardus Albertus Ten Bruggenkate of Little East Cheap, merchant, and second on Dec 6, 1823 as Gerardus Albertus Ten Bruggenkate and Thomas Henry Payne, Fenchurch buildings, merchants At the baptism of his daughter Eliza Sarah, his occupation is listed as 'ornamental artist.12' He gave £5 5s for disaster relief in the Netherlands in 1820.13
     Gerardus has two daughters Eliza Sarah and Emma, whose mother is Eliza. This cannot be Eliza Gardner Simmonds, as Eliza Sarah is bapt. in 1831, and Emmain 1835; and Gerardus and Eliza marry in 1844. Are Eliza Sarah and Emma daughters of Eliza from a previous marriage, and did Gerardus adopt them? Or is there a 3rd marriage?
