Henry Godfrey Baldwin and Mary Ann Cranfield were married in 1881 and lived in Erith, Kent. At some point before the 1901 census they went to Newcastle and the family name was changed to Godfrey. In that census Mary is listed in All Saints Parish with 8 children and Henry was in Lynesack & Softley as a joiner. As far as I know the name Godfrey continued from that time on. Henry may have later left and gone to Australia without the family. Most children stayed "up north" - Hnery (Boy), Fred, Frank, Ella, Norman, Harry and Will. Three girls went "down south" - Mabel, Ethel and Nora. Anyone have any knowledge of this family?

Hi There,
My name is Neil and my grandfather was Normam Alfred Godfrey. 1884-1956.
I'm in touch with Will (Wilfred) Baldwin's (b.1885) grandson . They didn't change their name.
Harry Godfrey's (1894) son William (Bill) has just died. He lived in Nelso Village, Cramlington.
I got most of my info from a relative, in the USA.
I've also meet Goff (Godfrey) Dixon daughter.
That's enough for now and also you may have this already.
By the way who are you and where do you live??
Cheers Neil
