Thanks Dee

Maybe Matilda didn't marry then, died young, or.........

Emma Matilda appears to have siblings called Beatrice and Bertha, all three weddings at their father's residence in Port Pirie.

No death for Matilda, and I rechecked marriages for God* without using a given name, and still no sign of her.  :-\

The siblings of Emma Matilda's don't look like the right ones for my Godfreys

Thanks for checking that Dee.....

Would you be able to find any children for Benjamin Godfrey and Clara Ellen Southwell, they married in 1880.

Someone has given us information which is incomplete and I am trying to fill in some gaps.

Just the two for that couple......

Daniel Charles William GODFREY born 23 Sep 1880 at Rosewater
Ref: PtA 248/485

Matilda Maud GODFREY born 3 Dec 1882 at Rosewater
Ref: PtA 295/336


Would there be confusion over Clara Ellen's name......because there are a number of births to a Benjamin Godfrey and Clara Ellen Manning from 1885 onwards......
