Sorry...had to sort my 'delightful' teenage son's out !!! I think the heat is getting to them now. Merry's always right... no point in me looking, lol. Pen x

Blacksmith J = blacksmith journeyman.......means he was self employed, in todays lingo! Merry

I've found a Thomas Godman in the 1841 census, in Harpley in the Hundred of Freebridge Lynn who seems to fit - but I can't read his occupation. Can anybody see it better than I can?

Pen, I think you're right about Elizabeth in the 1861. I wish she had stuck to one name though. It's making my head spin! Mark

Just had a thought..... this struck me... re- 1861 census - The 1861 Census for England was taken on the night of 7 April 1861. So... If they married in the Jan Feb March quarter 186, they would already be married by the time of the 1861 census. Looking at the 1851 census there is NO daughter Elizabeth Dye (as on the 61) View Record Ann Dye abt 1834 Lynn, Norfolk, England Daughter Kings Lynn Norfolk View Record David Dye abt 1837 Lynn, Norfolk, England Son Kings Lynn Norfolk View Record Emma Dye abt 1811 Lynn, Norfolk, England Wife Kings Lynn Norfolk View Record George Dye abt 1842 Lynn, Norfolk, England Son Kings Lynn Norfolk View Record John Dye abt 1844 Lynn, Norfolk, England Son Kings Lynn Norfolk View Record William Dye abt 1806 Lynn, Norfolk, England Head Kings Lynn Norfolk View Record William Dye abt 1832 Lynn, Norfolk, England Son Kings Lynn Norfolk I think it's been written down wrong and Elizabeth on the 61 was the new wife of John. What do you think? Or had you already thought that to be the case? lol Pen x

That could be her, one of my Hannah's used the name Anna. Back in a bit -

I think I've got her now - Hannah Elizabeth Godman (great to have interchangeable first and surnames!) was born Jan-Mar 1843 in Kings Lynn. Thanks for your help! Mark PS - just saw all the rest of your stuff - thats amazing! Something to get my teeth into. ....now all I've got to do is find Fred Todd and I'll be away ...

But check out the 61 ! Now spelt Godman again......... looks promising. Will need to locate the father. But, on the 61 Geogiana Godman is down as wife (head is away) seaman's wife...so if the marriage cert comes back with that name and occupation............. back in a mo Pen x

Hi Pen, Goodman is a good idea. Looks like I'll have to get the certificates after all then. Good job my wife doesn't know what all this costs! Mark

***No your post is fine - I like to have the details at hand - just incase they might lead back some where, lol. Maybe it should read Goodman ?

Hiya Can you please post the source details from the 1871 & 81. Cheers Pen x

I've lost a wife! Anna Elizabeth Godman married John Dye in 1861 in Kings Lynn. That much I can find. Trouble is I can't find her before her marriage. She seems to change between Ann, Anna and Elizabeth on various census (censi?) but I can't find any of those names anywhere in the indexes. Can anybody help with any other suggestions (I don't want to fork out for the marriage certificate just now as I've just ordered a load of others) Mark
