Regarding the name Posthuma I have come across this before.  Apparently the child usually a girl is called this when their father has died before their birth.

David and John  I have found what I think is John Goodwins christening 17th Nov 1765 All Saints Kempston, parents Nathan Goodwin and Ann.

Also Rebecca Elliots christening 14 April 1759 Biddenham.

Are these the right ones do you think or is my hair still in knots?

It's this John that John and I have been discussing, as there's a burial of John, son of Nathan and Ann in 1774. Until that's resolved you've got to assume the 1765 John died.

What were the names of your Johns's children - is there any naming pattern? I can't recall a Nathan amongst them though

I've not been following the Prigmore/Elliott lines so I'll leave John to comment on Rebecca.

The only child I have is James Goodwin born 1791 married Ann Prigmore 24 Dec 1812 St Pauls Bedford and died 22 dec 1870 in Great Barford.

I sent for a copy of John Goodwin and Frances wedding certificate from Bedford Archives.   The date was 27 July 1788 and the witnesses were James Woodroffe, John Lovelidge and Mercer Skevington.  Strange lot.

Witness names ?  John Locelidge ? could he be related to the William Lovelidge (Biddenham) widower to Ann Goodwin, widow on 16 Oct 1785 ?

Rebecca Elliot was from Biddenham as per the marriage licence.

It was John & Frances Goodwin's children that I was referring to; the ones born in Willington - Ann; James, Ezer, Jane & Charlotte

Which doesn't get us very far, although the first daughter could have been named after Frances's mother who was Ann. But the eldest son should have been Nathan if the traditional pattern was followed. So either they weren't following the pattern, or Nathan wasn't John's father.
