Looking for birth cert of my Gt Grandfather Wm Goody who appears on the 1861 census of Colchester Essex aged 2 with parents William and Hannah (nee Fisher) I have his marriage cert (albeit in the name of GOADY) to Catherine Tommony in 1878 in Preston Lancashire. I also have his death cert in Preston 1910 (aged 50).
I can find no trace of him or wife Catherine on the 1881 census.
Neither have I been able to find a birth cert for him, either in the name of Goody or Fisher.
I have checked Male Goody, Male Fisher, and all the spelling mistakes I can think of.
Would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
