There are 19 Goodwills, born and living in Hovingham, however John and Mary are not listed among them. Checked the Welsh census as well but the only one from Hovingham is the Mark Goodwill who I identified in your previous post. No sign of William Coates either, using the birthplace you supplied.

In 1901 William Coates was married to Dora b North Ormesby. He was an Engine Driver Upon Works. Thanks George

I see him on 1901 but not 1891, have widened my search to incorporate spelling variations on Coates but still nothing. It could be that his birthplace is different to that on 1901. Would he have been married to Dora in 1891?

I'm not sure if they were married in 1891. George
