Hi,

Thank you, the tree you have just provided must be him as that is his wife and children I knew about with correct birth years.

But I dont know about any Holly's or Claudia's. Will look into it further.

Thanks :-)

I wonder if the Emily Ann Vernon on the 1871 Census is actually Amelia Vernon, b. 1833, d. 1898??


According to the Census, Emily Ann was born Shirburn, Oxfordshire



In other words, another of Henry's half-sisters.

a Public Family Tree on ancestry has the following.

These trees have to be treated with caution as far too many people just "acquire" names from other trees, and do no checking.

The information CAN provide guidance as to where to look.

Thanks for your help.

I had found much the same as Nicola and GlitterBaby but they were a bit quicker than me. As a possibility though, there is a tree on another site which has Henry Goodchild's parents as John Goodchild and Esther Vernon. While you should never take information on another tree as correct without checking yourself, if Rhoda Jones' maiden name was Vernon as seems likely then the connection with Henry is there. You need to try to find out how Esther and Rhoda were connected. Sisters? Mother and illegitimate daughter?

EDIT: In the 1841 census Esther Vernon is around 30 and has 4 children including 9 year old Rhoda. Haven't time to check further but it looks as though Esther has been widowed, so she probably remarried and Henry is from the second marriage. This would make him Rhoda's half brother.

Thanks,

I think a marriage cert would help me in my quest to find his parents. Would there be a reason for him moving from Oxfordshire to Yorkshire? Iron mining was his occupation, would this have been big in Yorkshire?

This is George on the 1841 Census

Address: Aston, Aston Rowant
County: Oxfordshire
Name Relation Sex Age Birth Year Occupation Where Born
JONES, James M 35 1806 Oxfordshire
JONES, Mary F 20 1821
JONES, Henery M 14 1827 Oxfordshire
JONES, George M 12 1829 Oxfordshire
JONES, Benjenmain M 10 1831 Oxfordshire
ANDREWS, Jesse M 19 1822 Oxfordshire

Dont know if that makes it as clear as mud :-)

Hi,

Thanks for your help,

I have found the death of Henry:

1907 Guisborough 9D 408
Henry Edward Goodchild

I think I will order the marriage, that way I have a fathers name to work with.

Thanks for your help.

:-)

What if Henry Goodchild was the younger Half brother of George Jones? Georges Mum couldve remarired a Goodchild and had Henry. The census wouldnt have specified 'half brother'

Hi,

Thanks, I don't have his marriage certificate, would it be worth me looking at the 1871 census?

Not convinced he is brother

Does he name a father on his marriage cert ?

Hi,

I have Henry Goodchild born c.1855 Sydenham Oxfordshire, he married Marjorie Ord. I searched Henry on the 1861 census and got a match for him born 1853 Sydenham with him being the brother to the head of the house, but the head of the house is a man called George Jones (34) and his wife Rhoda Jones (31).

Please can someone help me with this as I am puzzled. :-S

Thanks
