George GOODMAN

[Maddie]

Oh dear colbak, well at least you have discovered your mistake & not to much harm done.

If you do find any Herts ancestors come back & I'm sure we will help you if we can.

Good luck with your research.

Hi Maddie. Have you seen the 1861 census with Sophie and William G? Where it shows Sophie as a widow are you able to decipher the word underneath?

[Maddie]

Hi colbak

I am pretty sure the word under Widow for Sophia is Unmarried for William G, have a look at the rest of the page for comparison. He seems to be a messenger at the War Office.

Thanks for that input Maddie. I can. see that now. Sadly and conclusively he's not mine. Back to the drawing board for that side of the family. Will have to cut out quite a bit of the tree now. It just goes to prove that this geneology process is not easy when your parents have the names Baker and Taylor

The best of luck colbak, I know how difficult it is with fairly common surnames but you never know something may turn up. Shame we didn't find another Goodman also.

[colbak]

Sophia's maiden name was definitely Goodman and the son she had was Wiliam Goodman Tailor.
The marriage between her and Daniel took place on 19th June 1820. She was born in Hatfield so have you been able to fit her anywhere into your tree.Sadly she's no good to me any longer
Cheers

Hi colbak, thank you for that information. I am trying to establish a link through DNA with 1783caz. My tree hardly exists at present. It may be worth looking again if I can somehow move forward.

hiya just had a nose at british postal service appointment books and seen a George J Goodman  in 1922 in London ...26641/21= (minute number ..whatever that is ?)

[bgoodman]

Thank you 1783caz for that information. I wonder what the initial j is. I have not heard of that postal book as a potential FH source of information before. It would be good to know also if any other roots chatters have got information from this source.
