hi
Has anyone previously been researching the Godfrey Family from Colchester ?
Frederick Godfrey was born about 1854 and married Emily {Bacon or Blackshaw]
I'm trying to find their parents or siblings.
any help or advice appreciated.
Regards
Mick { a long way DOWN UNDER}

If the previous census I sent was the correct family then here they are on 1861, ages differ slightly
1861 BARRACK ST RG9/1097 FOLIO 68 PAGE 17
William 51 Gardener
Eliza 48
Sophia 21 tailoress
George 19 gardener
Emma 17 tailoress
Henry 13 scholar
FREDERICK 7scholar
Ellen 6 scholar
Sarah 4
all born Colchester
The only way to be sure this is the family is to purchase the marriage cert of Frederick married 1880 Colchester, it would confirm his father's name

you know doubt notice the names of streets, Colchester is a garrison town

Hi again
I don't live in Colchester, we took our granddaughter to Colchester castle
I couldn't make out what "japponer "was for Frederick's occupation
Are you asking for help to find Rosetta, if so if you put it on here someone may help you, even me if I am on the computer as it arrives
Regards
LM

Looks as if Merrett family is living in Brentford area as at 1911, minus Jessie, who may be Jessie Victoria, she may be Jessie in Wandsworth as at 1911.

Hi Louisa
That is the right Rosetta because she married Frederick Phillips who was my Grandad, thanks again.Looks like i got a start to a trail !
I looked up Japannor and apparantly it's a varnisher who used lacqering process invented in Japan closely allied to paper mache trade black hard varnish Japanning.
