Eachelhurst, 
You might want to consider looking through the Winnipeg phone directory and writing to the seven Godwins listed (found online at Canada411.ca); placing a notice in the city newspaper (Winnipeg Free Press); or writing to the Winnipeg Police Services or the RCMP Manitoba.  All the addresses can be found online, or contact me through the PM and I'd be happy to pass them on.

Good luck,

I went through many years of Henderson Directories at the Wpg. Leg. Library and found not one reference in there for a Henry. I wonder if he used another forename...? Sorry...I didn't check every year...but most of the second decade and a few in the 20's to 1930
Maybe next time I could try phone books, but often most didn't even have them back in those years unless they were very well off...

A Lydia Godwin died in Winnipeg Manitoba age 63, on 04/15/1935 - could she be your Lydia?

You can send for her certificate and search for others, at http://web2.gov.mb.ca/cca/vital/Query.php

Good going Eillo...I was looking through these old ones to see who needed info from the directories, etc....and never thought to look back at the newer entries on the site...
You know, forgive me, as I wrote down your information quickly and added it to my list of names, but didn't put in all the information, ie: 599 Fleet Avenue ( there may also be a street..we name them all here, no numbers... don't ask)  anyway, I will put it on my list for next visit.

HUBERT COLIN TAYLOR GODWIN  married BERTHA STEWARD Dec. 25th 1920...from site above..

Just realized we still haven't heard from the sender...
If we get a reply on this posting, I will also look for the directory listings for Fleet and also to see if there is an obit for death April 15 /1935
( sometimes there is a notice, only)

I will p.m. eachelhurst  again
