George GOODMAN

[bgoodman]

Thank u Maddie for those kind comments and support.
My brother sent me an attachment with my father's letter to his dad, Hubert, who was in Shankil Hospital. My dad mentioned that he was asked if he knew of a Patrick Marks who married a McCarthy from Cashel. Apparently this inquiry initially came from America. My dad passed on my grandfather's address, (presumably Shankil Hospital,  Co. Cork) to be given to the Cork police. My dad wrote that he hoped it was good news. It does look like it was concerning the McCarthy family in particular. Not sure if any McCarthy family remained in Cashel or whether there was any connection after Mary McCarthy married a Goodman.

What a pity the letter was concerning your McCarthy family. Would have been good to have turned up a lead on your other George.

hiya ,
im anxious to know now !!! lol ...ive added familytreedna to my facebook ...
other day they put out a notice ...
Thank you for your patience as we work out the last kinks in the Family Finder build 36 to build 37 upgrade process. We have noted problems with some kits in the testing process. These kits will be re-run and added back into matching in the next week. Meanwhile, you may notice that some of your matches even in the immediate category are missing from your match list. If the data indicates they are accurate matches, they will reappear on your list once all the final adjustments have been made....i so hope it matches as it will put a long hard effort of searching into a new route ...and ive got loads ..it would be good to have a male off maddies side to DNA as well ...its to co-incidental all these Goodmans in one little area ( as it was once ) at the same time and hers lived in Talbot Road and mine in Redpale Road ( Redpale Road turned into Talbot Road) and both of ours living in New Road at same time ...being as we were cut off from our Ricky Goodmans after our Joseph moved to Hemel with his wife and shortly after died in WW1 ...i would love to know if theres any still out there but dont know how to go about it ?

Hi

Unfortunately caz my interest in the Goodman's is only through my Mum's sister marrying into the family so I don't have any blood connection. As far as I can see it is just coincidence that the two families with the same name lived so close to each other.

 I've checked my Uncles family back as far as I can & his Grt Grandfather was born in Chesham although I believe his father was born in Derbyshire.

There may well be some of your Goodman descendants still living in the area, trouble is it gets more difficult to find them after 1911.

Hopefully you have actually just found one............

Hi all, I agree Maddie that would indeed be good if there is a connection between my ancestors and my first love, James the Blacksmith, who was with me from the start of my research.
Thank you for that info 1783Caz, I have sent you a message to your in box. The familytreedna site seemed to mention rechecking with my other DNA tests also, not sure if it is something that they do automatically.

Hi
I have been involved with my Baker/Taylor tree and have found that on thphie 19 June 1820 Daniel Taylor married a Sophia Goodman. One son was named in the 1851 Census as William Goodman Taylor aged 21. Do they appear in your tree anywhere. My address is colbak11athotmail.com

[bgoodman]

Hi Colbak, thank you for your post and welcome. It is good to find another person with a Goodman connection. With my family tree I have not found any connection re other family names except for McCarthy. Although I would not be able to say for sure whether there is or isn't a connection. I am stuck re making any other progress re family members as I have not found a birth cert for my George. However, others reading this thread may have some connection with your Goodmans. The best of luck and maybe in the future our Goodmans may connect, who knows.

Hi colbak

Is the marriage you speak of in St James Westminster. ? Can you give us a little more detail for the 1851 census if the family are together please as you don't say where your Sophia was born. The majority of the Goodman's featured on this thread are from Hertfordshire but if we can help with your line I'm sure we shall try.

Hi
Yes that is the one in Piccadily St James. Sophia was apparently born in Hatfield but lived in Leader St Chelsea with Daniel Taylor her spouse and children Daniel,Sarah,Sophia, William Goodman. Whether Goodman was her maiden name or she married and had a child hence William Goodman Taylor I don't know.
They would be my great great great grandparents.
Do you have her in your tree.
