We share a common g-g-g grandfather so I am also trying to definitively establish the parentage of the John Goodwin who married Francis Woodroffe.
It's a bit difficult, as I live in Melbourne. My niece spent a week in Bedfordshire last year, but confined most of her research to time spent at Great Barford and at Bedford.
We are currently evaluating the possibility that one other of the sons of Nathan and Ann Goodin (Ebenezer or Thomas Goodwin) was known as "John" after their brother John died in 1774. What information (marriage or death certificates) do you have for these two?
(My grandfather was George Alfred Goodwin, the son of William Thomas Goodwin. He migrated to Australia in 1911 bringing his family with him.)

Hello John Arthur
Nathan Goodwin 1738 Kempston Bedfordshire married Ann Line 1742 Kempston Bedfordshire on the 26 Dec 1763 in Kempston.
Their children were
John 17 nov 1765 Kempston
William 14 oct 1764 Kempston died 17 oct 1764
Ebenezer 23 feb 1772 Kempston
Carherine 4 mar 1770 Kempston died 1771
Elizabeth 23 oct 1768 Kempston
Thomas 21 mar 1773 Kempston
I cant get any further with Nathan but I have more info on Ann Lines parents etc if you want that. I have info on George Alfred and his siblings also. Just let me know what info you want.

As Kempston parish register shows the burial of John, son of Nathan and Ann, in April 1774 you can't assume that the John who married Frances Woodruff is the John baptised in 1765

To my mind, the parentage of John Goodwin,who married Frances Woodroffe in 1788, is still not certain.
I believe he is the man who died at Willington in 1830, aged 64, which suggests he was born in 1765.
John Goodwin, the son of Nathan and Ann, was born in 1765, but is said to have died in 1774. However there is no certainty that he is the lad born in 1765, as the death certificate describes him as an infant?
The other apparent discrepancy is that John, if the son of Nathan, did not name any of his sons Nathan. One possible reason for this may have been a family rift.
I think there are 7 chances in 10 that John is the son of Nathan.
Another possibility is that John Goodwin, the husband of Frances Woodroffe, was the son of Richard Gooding and Sarah, who married at Kempston in 1759.
At the present time, I rate that possibility as 1 chance in 4.
The other possibility is that he was from Kempston, but raised elsewhere.
Possible, but unlikely.
I would appreciate anything unearthed about Ann Line and her family.
