George GOODMAN

[gilbertlouise]

Hi guys,
Sorry to leave you so long...have had no internet because my connection is temperamental and have been cooking tea.

My line to Thomas is through my great Gran.
Here goes...brief info...
My maternal nan and Granddad were Sarah Lilian Turner and Edward Green who married in Watford 1934..I think, without checking lol!! My Granddad's dad was James Green who was a watercress farmer/labourer and his wife was Emma Goodman. Emma's parents were James Goodman and Louisa Gristwood and James parents were James Goodman and Sarah Hanstead, I do believe and then we come to Thomas Goodman and Zilpah...that's my line through the Goodmans...I do believe my Great Granddad on my Grandfather's side used to work with James Goodman in Moor Park. The Greens had a few generations at Moor Park, If I am correct. I have to check food...will be back with more info in a bit...

Hi Gill, amazing work, delighted that you have joined the thread. I know that there was a Thomas Goodman or two lurking around the Hertfordshire area, 1700s onwards. I believe at least one of them was a gent and had some property. There is a will in the National Archives for Thomas Goodman who was a gent, Hertfordshire. In a litigation case, it appears also that a John Goodman had a connection with the Bennett family (half brother). The following are just the headings mainly. I think you would have to pay to request further information on line however, I feel these Goodman families are not connected to our Thomas.

 "Prerogative Court of Canterbury and related Probate Jurisdictions: Will Registers. Will of Thomas Goodman, Gentleman of Hatfield , Hertfordshire.

    Collection: Records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury

There is a place called Savernake that comes up in the archives with a Thomas Goodman too...I don't think that he is the right one because dates are slightly out and family appear different. There is this link which you may be interested in seeing...There isn't a Thomas Goodman in this book, however there was a Dorchester Goodman. What is interesting is how may Sloper families there are and there is one particular entry which is Thomas s. of Silas and Mary Sloper. 15 March 1758. Over the page there is, it seems, a brother John.

Hi Gill

Your reply (#509) mentions lots but no refs/years/dates

I replied (#511)
"Would you confirm which names/census ref/years for the following ?
* Which Thomas 1841 Wiltshire? there are (at least) 6.
* "Yeoman with an estate . . . .  Russel"
* Moor Park relations?
* "My Grandad had property tithed with the job" Do you mean grandfather or gtx4G?"

Where you have found info may differ to where any one of us have found the info.
Different sources may enable any one of us to expand any lead.
The same may highlight assumptions/clarifications ( aka errors  ) in/on any one of our research topics (and with respect, yours).
You will have snippets of info which may highlight/clarify other leads and vice versa.

Cheers!
Ray

Congratualtions, Brenda, your thread is 500+ replies ..............................

I apologise Ray...I am very good at research but maybe still wet behind the ears at giving my findings...I think this is the information you require...

The 1841 census for Thomas Goodman
Piece 438
Book 21
Folio 45
Page 9
For Rickmansworth.
Thomas is living in the same building as Mary. It says on this census that Thomas is NOT from this parish...meaning he is not from Rickmansworth. I am wondering how we know that this Thomas Goodman on this 1841 census is the same Thomas Goodman who was married to Zilpah Harding?
It doesn't give any indication of children to bring us to that conclusion and age cannot verify this because they sometimes lied for census info anyway.

The 1851 Census for Thomas Goodman
Schedule 30
piece 1714
Folio 469
Page number 8
This census states that Thomas is from Russell, Wiltshire, but to my reckoning, when you zoom in...the word which is meant to say 'Russell' actually looks like something else.
