George GOODMAN

[1783caz]

Uh oh , were on the chase again lol ....
I think my Goodman lot had a lot to do with All Saints Church in croxley green ? maybe that is where James is buried ?
Or could he of gone to harefield to die where his son James was living with Louisa Gristwood ?

Thank you 1783caz for your reply. I am glad to say that the death cert arrived today but of course it doesn't throw any more light on where James may be buried. It is worth a shot 1783caz looking into your mentioned places. I guess Croxley district would come under three rivers also.
James actually died on the 31st of Dec 1877, Union Workhouse Watford, but he was registered and buried on the 4th of Jan 1878. Someone named Geo Mount ?Maiter or Master, Watford Union Workhouse is entered- Under Description of informant. He died of Bronchitis. He was aged 78 years. Under Rank or Profession Blacksmith is written. So far so good....

Hi all

Pleased to hear you received James's death cert bg. I wonder if he was returned to Ricky for burial as it's in the Ricky book. There is no cemetery at All Saints, at least I never knew one. St Mary's was closed by then so he could well have been buried in Chorleywood Road.

Keep up the good work.

Hi everyone, thank you for your posts. Good to see Ray back on board also.

Sorry, me again, I was trying to post the witnesses of James Goodman and Sarah Hansted's marriage cert. Married on 2nd December 1826, parish of Rickmansworth, married by bans by Edward Hodgson, Vicar. It looks like both parties wrote their signature as an x. The first witness appears to have the most difficult name to decipher. Could it say Henry S Pearce, any suggestions? The other witness, the next name part is missing on my post unfortunately, (several attempts at posting). It should say Louisa Ann Wallington (?Bryant). Not even sure if these witnesses were even well known to the couple.

Hi

  I haven't been anywhere, really. Still reading every word.

Louisa Ann Wallington Bryant 1810 - apparently dau of Richard Bryant 1765 and Martha Wallington 1777
Young witness? Traceable parents Rickmansworth.

[Some] Wallington and Pearce families lived ........................... Woodcock Hill [1841]
and a couple of dwellings away from James n Sarah in 1851

Henry Pearce maybe the one who m1828 Rebecca Gates.
