Good morning all and thank you for your efforts.  I have deleted all my other census apart from 1861 and gone back to the drawing board!  Start again! Elizabeth Goodman did marry Joseph Smith.

I have gone further back for you - I started with Joseph Allen who married Emily Goodman St Margarets Leicester in 1863 13 April. They end up in Hunslet Yorkshire. I know from the GRO births of her children her surname was Goodman. This is on FindMyPast  - her father is noted as Edward Goodman ?? not so sure about that, but I thought I got her birth Emily Mary Gee Goodman illegitimate dau of Elizabeth Goodman bpt 1 Sep 1847 St George Leicester also Edward Gee 25 Sep 18 Illegitimate son of Elizabeth Goodman born 1 Morton's Yard Wigston Street Leicester.

So have I got the wrong people??  If you say Emily married a "Hawkings"   
I appreciate all your efforts, this is a family I leave alone and come back to.

Hi just a note for Willsy

Are the Welford Road Cemetery records available anywhere else than Deceasedonline do you know ?

thanks A.

[rosie99]

Welford Cemetery records are on the National burial index which is available on FindMyPast

[rosie99]

Is the census correct giving Joseph Hawkins as Son in law of Elizabeth Smith.

At least Elizabeth Smith is constant by living at 10 St John St in 1871/81/91.  She is not there in 1901 though.

Now I am confused  .

Could you tell us how you have got back to this family

Just looking at the 1863 marriage between Emily Goodman and Joseph Allen.  The address for Emily ties in with the 1861 we have for Joseph Smith, Elizabeth Smith etc.  Her age is 17, it was 14 on the census.  So that looks right.

I suspect that an (Edward?) Gee could be the father of the two illegitimate children of Elizabeth Goodman / Smith

Presumably it is Elizabeth Goodman living in Mortons Yard in 1841 with mother Mary & siblings
