Hi, thank you Manawakian for looking up information on George for me. Naas is in Co. Kildare, Ireland. Which I guess is near Dublin. Do you happen to have access to Irish birth information as well as death information. I know that there was at least one Irish born George Goodman 1881. If the index information was concerning George, born in Rickmansworth, England, in 1881, could he have been at a military base near Dublin. If he had a falling out with his mother, Mary Goodman, (nee McCarthy), he may not have put her as next of kin. After all, she did abandon George and his sister, to children's homes. When she went back to live, and to do her nurse training, in Ireland. Therefore, the family may not have been made aware of George's death. Although, you would expect there to have been a military record of his death also, if he did join up. Especially as Ireland was part of England at the time. The family suspected that he had joined up.
His uncle died abroad, in 1907, when George was first mentioned in the probate. Although searches were made for George after that period also.
