Unwanted Birth, Marriage, Death Certs A to G / Re: EASTWICK, William, death cert 1863

This is definitely my family.

William Hector Goff (1822-1884) was married in 1849 (I have a copy of the marriage certificate). Unfortunately his father was named on the certificate also as William Hector Goff). I have spent several years trying to locate WHG senior with no success. It would appear from your information that the entry on the marriage certificate could have been flawed and WHG's father was, in fact, HFG.

Please get in touch, I have masses of information you may find useful.

Hello again Jane,

Any chance you could e-mail me a copy of William Eastwick's death certificate?

It's a bit of a long shot but we could be related.

Thanks,

     Bob

Hello Jane,

I think you are probably right, I can find no connection between the two families, although my family did come from the Enfield, Edmonton & Poplar areas before moving to the Hackney/Plaistow area.

The only other possible connection is that, on the IGI, many different spellings were used within the same family's records, at least up until the late 18th century. I have also found this to be the case when researching parish records that have not been entered on the IGI.

It may be that way back in the dim and distant past there was only one spelling and that this became corrupted simply because of illiteracy.

Do let me know if you ever find a connection. (I will do the same for you).

Regards,

     Bob

I am looking for a William Eastwick who married in 1849 in Poplar. I have lots of information on the Eastwick family in north and east London. I think we should compare notes.
Please call me on 01942-608450.
