Northamptonshire / Re: Goodliffe family Wakerley

Hello Tony,
I have only just seen your query. I have the same Goodliffe line in Wakerley.
Your Catherine was the daughter of John Goodliffe and Charlotte Green (his second wife) as others have mentioned. My ancestor was James, a son by his first wife, Sarah Scotney. I visited Wakereley churchyard a few years ago and ther was a clear gravestone for Sarah.
The Goodliffes came to Wakerley from Morcott in Rutland about 1750 and before that Gretton in Northants about 1710. The earliest record I have found is 1581 in Gretton withe a daughter to Lion Goodliffe, who is already married. I do not know where he came from but there were Goodliffes nearby as early as 1521 and Lion (not Lionel) is a locally used name at this period.
A direct link can be shown for this line and I can supply more details if you are interested.
