Find Ancestors

Gosh - I've only just turned my back for a minute and there's more helpful info. Thank you EVERYONE!! Off to sort out my tree.

Sorry, Margaret - almost missed you, thanks for looking for me. I've just noticed that poor little Richard is registered as an Imbecile - what a shame. Mind you, Martha was still producing offspring well into her 40's!!! Rather her than me!

Goodwin Priscilla N. Aylesford 2a 366

Had a look on Ancestory - image not very clear but I think she is 5 not 15 years old. Alviegal's response seems to confirm this.

Could she be Priscilla? There's this one:
Births Sep 1866 (>99%)
Goodwin Priscilla N. Aylesford 2a 366

(N. Aylesford covers Meopham.)

Births Sep 1866 (>99%)
Goodwin Priscilla N. Aylesford 2a 366


Meopham comes under N.Aylesford

Thank you Gary and Rose. It all helps to fit things together. I was beginning to wonder if the enumerator was either inebriated or had a slight speech impediment. Now I think he was just hard of hearing!!

Very grateful for all efforts.

Goodwin Priscilla N. Aylesford 2a 366

had a look at original, hard to read, but would say it was edward not sure about Philis, can email you copy if you pm your email address

Gary

You took the words right out of my mouth!!

Many thanks, I am so grateful as this helps me to fit the family together and I can stop looking for the non-existent 'Philish' !!!

Thanks for the 1861, I struggled to find that this morning! I'll go and check births for 1866 ish now!

Mind you, I am now wondering if this is Pricilla who appears in the 1881 aged 15. Possibly another mistranscription??

Here's the 1881 where she is Priscilla!

The original certainly looks like Philish.

Thank you Alviegal. Another reason why I am confused is that on the 1871 'Phlish' is aged 15 and now, I see that on FMP she is only 5!

Here's the 1861. I take it daughters in law are stepdaughters. Phyllis wouldn't be on this one.

I visited the library this morning to print off some census for one part of my family but would appreciate it if someone could look at the original please.

Frederick Goodwin born c1853 Meopham Kent.

RG10 ; Piece; 896; Folio:73; Page: 17; GSU roll 823485

The query is regarding 'Philish' Goodwin

I have taken this to be Phyllis, but cannot find a birth /marriage or any reference for her whatsoever.


I couldn't find the family on the 1861 to check her earlier..

Also, I think 'Edgara' is actually Edward.

Would be very grateful for some experienced eyes cast on this for me. Thank you.
