No I think I might have to get it at some point. I am doing this for my friend who is the other Nana to my granddaughter and am not sure she will want to pay out for it as its not her main line although still in her direct line. Alice was my friends Great Grandmother so she's my gd's 3 x ggm I think!

Looks like I will have to unearth all the bits of research I have and then look for some more.

Interestingly there is a Percy Bryer Goudy, aged 31, born Slough and living in Swindon in 1911

Have not come across him!

If there is another Frederick Goudy I do not know where he could be.. but what makes me think it is the same one is the fact that Bathshebas second son was called Arthur G Goudy and I know your Frederick had a little brother called Arthur G Goudy who died aged 7.  Also the fact that Bathsheba started off in Norfolk then moved to London then moved to Reading where Frederick was and as soon as Bathsheba moved to Reading Frederick moves to London and then to Maidenhead and Bathsheba stays in Reading until she moves with her daughter and  daughters husband to Coventry.  I think Frederick had family in the Swindon area and then in the 1960's when my friends Grandparents first moved south they settled in Wiltshire and their children ended up in Dorset.  That could have just been a coincidence though.

One of Frederick and Laurena's daughters married and lived in Swindon. She was my great grandmother.

Its all very interesting.  I wonder if he was a bigamist if he would have told the truth on the marriage certificate?  So getting  it might not prove it one way or the other and will cost £9 !

That is a problem. If it is not him then it may lead to finding who and from where he came but if it is him and he lies, then it could lead to a wildgoose chase. Only if it leads to another lineage will we know the difference.
Or, he could tell the truth!

I think that it would be an idea to start a seperate thread to look for help and ideas.
I have done so,  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=740704.new#new
