Per 1861 Census Frederick (Fredk) Goodwin Born 1836 Hawkhurst, Kent and Jane Goodwin Born 1834 Salehurst Sussex (and Louisa, my G Gran, 1860 Hawkhurst). Source Citation: Class: RG9; Piece: 508; Folio: 83; Page: 8; GSU roll: 542652. In 1851 Frederick was living with his parents. I cannot, however, see the marriage between Frederick and Jane (presumably some time in the 1850s) anywhere. Can somebody more skillfull than me find it? Thanks. Rob

Cas, thats brilliant. Could well be the one as Jane Goodsell was one of my candidates. That doesn't seem to come up on Ancestry - where did you find it? Thanks. Rob

Thank you. I have made the schoolboy error of assuming that as Freebmd is 'sponsored' by Ancestry and Ancestry refer to Freebmd searches that they share databases. Lesson learnt. Cheers. Rob

These appear to be the corresponding entries on Kent BMD only Cranbrook doesn't include Tunbridge Wells and it's transcribed there as Sarah, not as Jane... Name: GOODWIN, Frederick, , Year of Marriage: 1858 Entry Number: 43 Register: CRO1 Location: TUNBRIDGE WELLS Name: GOODSELL, Sarah, , Year of Marriage: 1858 Entry Number: 43 Register: CRO1 Location: TUNBRIDGE WELLS same ref = same marriage (County refs aren't the same as GRO refs) on the other hand, that ref ''CR01' - is that ''CR'' as in ''Cranbrook''?? UPDATE - probably ok - Cranbrook's ''Registers now in Tunbridge Wells'' according to Genuki. Christine
