Hi Barbara
Sorry it has taken a while to reply. I have done a little research on Fred Goodbody and this is what I have found:
I have looked at the All Saints, Pontefract baptisms and there are no Goodbody's listed. As it seems Fred was born in Castleford then the church's in that area would be the ones to look at, possibly All Saints.
I have found Fred on the 1911 census living at 58 Grange St, New Wortley, Bramley, West Riding Yorkshire. This is the particulars of the census:
Ben Sanderson, Head, Married, Male, 26, Occupation: Cartman, born Leeds, Yorkshire
Clare Sanderson, Wife, Married 2 years, Female, 27, Occupation: Leather Dresser, born Barnsley, Yorkshire
Ben Sanderson, Son, Male, 1 year, born Leeds, Yorkshire
Fred Goodbody, Boarder, Single, Male, 23, Occupation: Labour, born Castleford, Yorkshire.
I have found your grandfather John Goodbody with his parents and siblings on Ancestry.co.uk on the 1891 census - ref: RG12/3764/144/20 under the surname Brown. Other than the surname all the other information ties in with the 1901 census. It looks like your grandfather was born in Swinton, Yorkshire.
Also listed on the 1891 census was a William Edward. I have found a burial record for him, I can email you a copy if you wish. He was buried on 22 April 1891 at the age of 13 months, this would have been only a few weeks after the census was taken.
I hope this information has been of help to you. If you wish me to do any further research please let me know.
Best wishes
Leanne
