Peter,    Many thanks for reply.   Have found them on later census returns but was hoping to find them on an earlier one.  I went through the whole of 1851 didn't find a one.    Was hoping to find one alive and kicking that was related.  Wishful thinking.  Thanks again.   gales

Have found 18 GODWARDS surnames in the 1851 census all connected with Nottingham.

Who in particular was you looking for

Please give me a forename or forenames.

Hi Chris 1066,    Need to get my glasses changed.  Looking for John dob 1816  Ann abt  1825. Godward.  Was hoping to find Johns family listed. Fathers name William occupation collier Mother ?.   Son of John and Ann listed 1871. - Henry 3 Millstone Place Nottingham.  However a brick wall with the earlier ones.   Many thanks for your reply.    gales.

Hi Gales

John Godward and Ann Spencer Marriage 26.11.1839 Worksop St Mary (Priory)

Baptisms:

To John & Ann Abode Norfolk St Occupation Post boy At Worksop St Mary (Priory)

Ann 28.10.1842
Henry 29.9.1844

Henry must have become a Catholic:
Another Baptism at St Barnabus RC Born 11.8.1844 Baptised 4.4.1876

I don't know if you know Nottingham. St Barnabus is in City Centre, Worksop is up in North Notts.

There are lots of BMDs for Godwards in Nottinghamshire although I have not heard the name before and lived here almost all my life.
