Find Ancestors

I do have the marriage cert....married my Grt Grandma in 1924, and yes his father was fred goldspink.......my family tree is not on ancestory....Charles according to the marriage cert is 1873......its very strange to find goldspinks living at the same road and to not be related, goldspink seems to be a not familiar name! 1873 is based on his marriage in 1924 making him 51?? hope all the above helps all those that have replied and i thank you all!!

My gr grandfather, followed by one of his sons lived in the same road (probably same house but numbers changed once) from at least 1881 to the late 1920s so occasionally it happens that they do stay in one place.

(To counterbalance this one of my other gr grandfather's lived at a different address on every record I have of him - and I have a few!)

"As Tina has said she 'knows' the father was Fred.........I assumed that she has the marriage cert"

People always say that, when you ask how they know, it's often because somebody else (often unconnected to the family) told them!

I assumed she hadn't got it as she didn't mention how old Charles was.

Tina, please answer some of our questions!

Is it your family tree on Ancestry?

If so then you will not find him on 1871 census if the age at death is correct

You need a copy of the marriage certificate to find out exactly when Charles was born.

Are you basing the 1871 find on this birth

GOLDSPINK Charles Croydon 2a 221


How would you know it was the right family.

I doubt very much if they would be living in the same street from 1871 to the 1920's

Please read the Tips for Newbies.

When was Charles born? When/where did he marry? When did he die?

I am really struggling to find anything on Charles Goldspink??

Please can you help?

Im not sure where he was born? However i believe he was born in 1873 and died in 1929, i have his death certificate.

I know that his dad was Fred Goldspink.....as per his marriage certificate to Charlotte? But cannot find anything on him....?

Charles Goldspink lived and died in Croydon, he was married to my Great Grandma Charlotte Brammer/Adcock.
I have found a Goldspink Family, that lived in the same road as Charles later on, an address which became my grandads family home, Charles Adcock....i believe that Charles could be my Grandads true father, however not sure if that family are related, but think they are, census 1871??

Really feel that i have hit a brick wall.....hope you can hep!!!!!
