Thanks Dee

Maybe Matilda didn't marry then, died young, or.........

Emma Matilda appears to have siblings called Beatrice and Bertha, all three weddings at their father's residence in Port Pirie.

No death for Matilda, and I rechecked marriages for God* without using a given name, and still no sign of her.  Undecided

The siblings of Emma Matilda's don't look like the right ones for my Godfreys

Thanks for checking that Dee.....

Would you be able to find any children for Benjamin Godfrey and Clara Ellen Southwell, they married in 1880.

Someone has given us information which is incomplete and I am trying to fill in some gaps.

Just the two for that couple......

Daniel Charles William GODFREY born 23 Sep 1880 at Rosewater
Ref: PtA 248/485

Matilda Maud GODFREY born 3 Dec 1882 at Rosewater
Ref: PtA 295/336


Would there be confusion over Clara Ellen's name......because there are a number of births to a Benjamin Godfrey and Clara Ellen Manning from 1885 onwards......

Strange that you question Clara Ellen's name because on her marriage it is Southwell but her father's name is Henry Pitches, but I don't know the Manning name at all.

Dee, I have just noticed that they were married at the residence of a Daniel Manning in Rosewater.

Are the other births also at Rosewater?

It must be them

i just checked the marriages, and there is no marriage of a Benjamin Godfrey to a Clara Ellen Manning!

It just seems a remarkable coincidence of names......

There are 5 marriages of Godfrey girls between 1905 and 1914 with father Benjamin, and three are held at the residence of Benjamin Godfrey, Rosewater, and two are held at the residence of  Rev. M.L. Murphy, Alberton.

Now that is another strange coincidence......I'll check the next disk.......and check on your query too......

The births to Benjamin Godfrey and Clara Ellen Manning were all at Rosewater!!!!     Huh

Don't know what sort of a puzzle we've started here, Geejay....but I checked to see if there were any births to a Daniel Manning......and guess what......he had 11 children between 1866 and 1891 and his wife was Martha Southwell.....
but no Clara Ellen among them......

It is never plain sailing is it  Shocked

Clara might have been born to Martha when unmarried perhaps.......Henry Pitches, the father? 

Looks like those births under Manning are the right ones.
