Godson family simply disappeared!
« on: Sunday 27 September 09 09:23 UTC (UK) »

What happened to them - where did they go?

1861 census shows William Godson (master printer  b.1832) at Islington with his wife Susannah & 2 young daughters (Susannah & Emily).

1871 census shows William Godson (master butcher?? b. 1830) at St Giles, Camberwell, with his wife Susannah and now 5 daughters (Susannah, Emily, Alice, Louisa & Lydia) as well as brother Charles Godson (b. 1831).

but then they vaporised - I can't find any of the family in subsequent census.  What could have happened? 

PS  another record shows William's father as George Thomas GODSON

Tati, you are fantastic!!!!  So much, in such a short time  Thank you, so very much.   I hadn't thought about the possibility of the 'girls' remaining single; I'd stupidly thought they would have married!!

Thank you also Trish.  cheers.  Shirl

I thought we'd lost Lydia but she's with the other sisters in 1911 in fact. Wonder where they were hiding in 1901 ...
