« on: Saturday 28 February 15 21:00 GMT (UK) »
I have been searching for a william bernard godwin who married lydia frances harper. They married on the 20th of June 1918 at waterford in ontario. The marriage records shows them as living at Windham Centre. I can not find anything about their whereabouts after this. All i know of their past was that they were both from bradford on avon wiltshire england william was born in 1879 and lydia was born 1887. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Nothing to positively identify your William - Canada Voters List 1935 has a William Godwin (labourer) in Waterford R 5 - Norfolk Ontario (no Mrs or Lydia mentioned)

Canada Voters List 1945 - Mr and Mrs William Godwin - Farmer - Nixon - Polling Dist Windham

Anc tree lists William Bernard Godwin - father's names listed the other way round Herbert William Godwin - as he appears on UK census.  Tree owner was on site today but only goes as far as the marriage.
