Hi Gary
I would read that middle name as BUCKMAN - there are BUCKMANs in Deal today (and GOODBANs come to that - my wife used to work with one of them - I think she lived in College Road!).
1861 Lower Street (East Side), Deal
That throws a spanner in the works, Cas - the address where she was living in 1898 (photo below) was on the West side, on the corner of Cannon Street!
In 1841 they were apparently living further north on Lower Street, still on the West side, as they appear 12 houses on from Cannon Street.
Looking at the 1891 census, it would seem as though 101 was also on the west side (but not on the corner of Cannon Street) - the enumerator started from Rupert Cottages, heading south to Sandown Villa (East side), then Wellington Terrace, Jubilee Cotts, Clydesdale Cotts, then another 4 houses, before continuing from no. 99 High Street upwards. These terraces, each comprising 6 cottages (with the exception of Rupert Cottages), can still be identified, although they no longer have their names displayed. They were originally numbered individually (1-6 in each terrace); now they are numbered as part of College Road.
If he had continued on the East side, going south, he would have come to Alfred Square, but the next junction in the schedule is Cannon Street, indicating that he must have crossed over to the West side and gone north from the junction with Ark Lane. After Cannon Street he continued going north. This would have put no. 101 somewhere just north of Ark Lane.
This section of Lower Street, shown as High Street in 1891, is now College Road, after Deal College, a boys' school that was in Lower Street at the bottom of Alfred Square.
The rest of Lower Street, from Alfred Square south, is still High Street. It was originally called Lower Street because it is the lowest part of the town, being lower than Middle Street and Beach Street (it is actually below sea level - you have to go up-hill to the sea front).
Caroline Elizabeth (who Casalguidi found through IGI for me, but can not trace her in 1841 census, so possibly she died, who is meant to have been baptised in Great Mongeham according to the IGI)
There were a number of GOODBAN baptisms in Gt Mongeham, but only the one belonging to this family - the others were all from the same parents and spanned a period of (I think) over 20 years!
Charles (who according to someone with some Deal parish extracts was baptised at St Leonards 21 Feb 1841)
I didn't find this one - I will have to have another look.
I won't give up on this family - it has got me intrigued!!
