Clare Report 30 Sep 2008 09:10

William Godfrey - born around 1914 and I believe married a Doris Clippingdale - born around 1920 (.MARRIED IN ESSEX TO DORRIS REG NO 4A PAGE 1261 13/07/1938 in Leytonstone) They had two children Francis Godfrey - born around 1943 and Joseph Godfrey - born around 1945.

William Godfrey (the Father ) also married a lady called Ida Brown (he was a bigamist). They had one child together (Rosheen - borm 1940). Rosheen (Ros) is my mother and never knew her father, but remembers meeting his two sons when she was very young. She would dearly love to meet her half brothers and father if he is still alive. I can find any info as I dont have exact years they were born etc. Possibly an Irish connection (might have been born there). Would this be on our birth/marriage/death records - or do they have their own.
Any help would be wonderful, as I dont know where to go from here and would love for my mum to meet them, before it gets to late.
