Oh Ray, don't bring in Benning's, I have some married to my family members......

caz, who was the Elizabeth Winfield you came across, might be worth a little further investigation.

ive been ttacing my grandmother jane trowes family ...(heaven knows why ive not paid much attention to her as she has loads of history for me and on my door step ) looking through her direct line i found we are a family with surname holliday in berko from at least 1690 ...posible links with the street name too .
whilst trying to find this link with the holliday family who had a well known shop in holliday street in berko.... i found another family tree on ancestry with my hollidays on it .

its called    Jones - Winfield _ Branches and Roots

there is 3 elizabeth winfields on there ...of different ages ...
my brains taken so much in today im trying to work out where winfields connect to my hollidays .

Hi caz

I see the Elizabeth/Lizzie Winfield's on the tree. The elder one in Mill End we did have a look at but there didn't seem to be any connection to the Goodman family, don't know about her daughter though, perhaps she knew George through her soon to be husband William Wilson.

Good luck with your Holliday research.

According to ancestry there were one or two Elizabeth around Ricky. That was the name alright with George when he died but of course which one.

Hi all, hope this goes...

Trying to post the chapel cert, would really like some help researching witnesses as I have not managed to get anywhere with them.

I also had another quick look at Kevin Asplin's military site just to check if Michael Power enlisted in the 34th foot, Cumberland Reg, around the 10th of May 1871, when George enlisted at Westminster, but with no success. I noticed that both parties getting married are described under age as Full. I presume that means adult. If George was ?39 when he died in 1888 and Mary was ?23 in the 1881 census I expect that would be approx 9yrs difference. Mary would have been approx 17years at marriage.
On both chapel and registration entries Joseph is written although there appears to be a difference with the months, 12th of August or Sept 1875 at St Peter and Paul's R/C chapel, Clonmel, Co Tipperary Ireland. When my grandfather Hubert got married he named his father as George, not Joseph. On all Mary and George's children's birth registration entries George (father) is given as the first name. Grasping at straws again although as I mentioned any help with those witnesses would be gratefully received.

Hi

Wonder why George was Joseph on his marriage cert. Could it have been an error by whom ever wrote the actual cert, if George himself couldn't read or write he wouldn't have known that it was wrong. Just a thought. Wish he had mentioned what his fathers occupation was. I presume one of the registrations was copied from the other. I'm not up on R/C marriages.

There are a lot of Michael Power's on the census, all born Ireland but it's pretty impossible to know if any of them are the correct one especially if this particular one never left Ireland. Same goes for Bridget unfortunately.

Have you been able to progress any further with the DNA. ?
