Sorry Maddie I re looked at my grand dad Hubert's stuff and there is a mention of him being called Herbert instead of Hubert. My brother paid for a researcher to discover all of my grand dad's info some time ago and he did refer to Herbert. At that stage I had already got the conduct sheet and attestation paper at Kew as I use to research Hubert at Kew myself. Didn't realize though that Hubert was listed under the wrong county also. No wonder the researcher referred to having difficulty at first. Thank you for the offer re info although I am now content with what I have on his time with the leinster reg.
To recap, for me I am still on the same line George Goodman supposedly born in Rickmansworth estimated to be 1848. Should Mary Katherine (Catherine) be one and the same I will know where all the children of Mary Goodman nee McCarthy died with the exception of George (junior). It would be good to identify some sisters brothers cousins etc for George (Senior) in Rickmansworth or another area, therefore looking at possible links. Was it by chance Winfield was with George. Caz1783'S Goodman family has a connection with Gristwood who in turn has a connection to Winfield. To know the religion of George (senior) before marriage would be a help also. His family may have come to Rickmansworth from another area. I wrote to the Catholic Archives as I wondered about a baptism for George (senior) in Old hall Green. This did not prove fruitful at all and I have recently written again re any records on the schools/homes for his children. I found a reference some time ago under the heading Old Hall Green and Southend Missions 51 (Hertfordshire and Hampshire) Catholic Ancestor vol 5 no 2/June 1994. I re looked at this reference when Ray mentioned Hampshire. Going off the subject a bit, I read, in Tracing your family Tree 1997, that a Rickmansworth man in his 91st year got baptised in St Mary the Virgin in 1818. His mother was a dissenter therefore he was not christened when young. Just a few years out then, I pity the person looking for that one.
