I dont know who they are,They might fit into the tree somewhere along the line.I just had a thought maybe everybodys name in that village was called Rackham or Godbolt and they inter-married... lol

Hey guys , This is sooooooooo.... frustrating as there are so many Rackhams and Godbolts in the tofts Monk,loddon Area.I wouldnt have thought it was a popular name,but how wrong was i

My next question is - who are John and Maria??? They must fit in somewhere with names like those!

tracy. Thats my family from 1871.

Ahh Rose... your Mary Ann fits with my John. That could be the one :)

This would certainly appear relevant........... Name: Godbolt, Mary Ann Rackham Record Type: Births Quarter: June Year: 1850 District: Loddon County: Norfolk Volume: 13 Page: 206 It would seem they jumped the gun! Rose

I dont think that is them as the name is Mary Ann,I know over the years the varient of the names do change.i am definate it is Mary Ann and not maria

Hi Rose, I think she had remarried by then.I was just adding an extra bit of info by putting that in not that it proberly helps.I am trying to find the parents of John Rackham And Mary Ann Godbolt.I dont suppose birth certificates would give thier parents names?
