www.FreeBMD.org.uk is the best for finding maiden names and between 1891 and 1901 I found:- Marriages Sep 1893 (>99%) >>Godden Henry Charles Brentford 3a 164 Sharpe Harriett Earwicker Brentford 3a 164 >>Silvester Amy Brentford 3a 164 Wayling Henry Brentford 3a 164 If you get the marriage certificate it will give you the farthers' names but youideal should get a childs birth cert . Births Sep 1895 (>99%) Godden Daisy Rosetta Brentford 3a 64 Births Sep 1897 (>99%) Godden Clara Louisa Brentford 3a 58 Births Sep 1900 (>99%) Godden Elsie Amy Brentford 3a 6

Hi, Well the title isnt entirely true! He is called Henry C Godden, born 1870 in Streatley, Berkshire. I am able to find him on 1901 census living with his family and then on 1891 census as a Lodger BUT i cant find him anywhere before this! 1901 >>> Class: RG13; Piece: 1184; Folio: 22; Page: 35 1891 >>> Class: RG12; Piece: 1025; Folio 31; Page 5 I am trying to find his parents and siblings, can anyone help? Thanks for your help Lee ... also I am trying to find out what his wife, Amy, surname was? They were married in Elham, Kent in 1895, thats all i know! :( What does everyone use to search for premarriage names?
