Find Ancestors

Hi, I am trying to get some great aunts and uncles sorted out a few at a time (prolific family!) and would be grateful if someone could check the above census for the following folk:



Charles Goodwin born 1861 in Meopham Kent
Lewis Robert Goodwin born 1864 in Meopham Kent
Priscilla Goodwin born 1866 in Meopham Kent
and
James Goodwin born 1871 in Meopham Kent


They are a few of the children of Thomas & Martha Goodwin and I have all their births from freebmd and their baptisms from Medway City Ark and I have them all on the 1881 census - (to save wasting your time).

I have looked at various possible marriages/deaths etc. but the names are too common to make an informed guess - and I want to get them right.

Have had a play with the 1911 but still too much guesswork involved.

Many thanks

Hi.

Am I being dense (quite possible as you well know), but doesn't it look as though Lewis/Cewis got married after the children were born??

I cannot find them on the 1901


....... either under both names, surname only or christian name only!

Will probably have to ignore this one as does look like Alpha or Alphar on image


There is a birth for Alpha Thomas Goodwin - so yes ruled out

Heavens.....can't keep up but doing my best!

Glitter, Sims is a relation from another branch of the family - said they were prolific...and how!


Sylvia - I wonder where they went???


Ozi - thanks!


Choccy - thank you too.

Would you believe, that one of this line married my grandmother's sister??? Hard work this lot!



Very grateful for all efforts.

and I have looked for no name, birth year +/5 years, born Meopham, Kent



sylvia

Summary:

Charles Goodwin - found in 1891
Lewis Robert Goodwin - found in 1901
Priscilla Goodwin - found in 1891, 1901 & 1911 - done

Hi again.

Alpha is another branch too! At least he was fairly easy to trace!


Yes, Sylvia that's them in 1871 - I know about Rosina and Philish will be Priscilla.


Thanks again.
