Hello Andy Goodman,
I know that I am responding to a very old post but I am tracing my father's maternal line and hope you can help.
My father's mother was Eleanor Cecelia Goodman born 1905 near Ludlow. I know that she had a sister Claris and a brother Leslie (who I met once when I was v young). I also know that she lived as a child at 2 Railway Terrace,Cainham before she moved to Slough at about 14 to go into domestic service.
I would be ever so grateful if you could let me have any info you have on these Goodman's.
I believe Eleanor Cecelia's parents were Samual Goodman and Clara Lloyd.
Thanks for any info
Dibs Haisman

Hello,

I didn't realise she had a brother called Howard (Harold)! I am Celia's youngest grand daughter and sadly none of her sons (my unlces) know much about her family . I only ever remember her mentioning a sister called Claris and a brother Lesley who I met as a kid.
Any info that you have on the Goodmans would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Dibs

it would be great to share info. There were 6 siblings altogether. I have traced back to 1785 on most of the Goodman line and most of decsenants. I do not have much info on Eleanor so that would be great if you wiling to share. Perhaps We can exchange emails and go from there. It is great to meet up with lost relatives and this site has been SO  helpful to me.

Hi,
Thanks for that. You can have whatever info I have on Eleanor Cecelia (not much i'm afraid). I always thought she lived on the Clee Hills but I keep seeing reference to Knowbury, Bitterley and Cainham?
Would be great to be in touch by email...how do we do that?

Hi Dibs (and Wendy),
Knowbury, Bitterley and Cainham are in the area of Clee Hills so you are correct in thinking that they lived on the Clee Hills, Titterstone Clee to be precise.
I've got back as far as Wendy on the Goodman line but ran out of the time at the library at that point.  If I can get back a couple more generations it may well link up with some other research that somebody else has done that includes the Goodmans in the Clee Hill area and that goes back to the 1600s if I remember correctly, but it's been a while.
I can try and send you a tree of what I've got if that is of interest to you.

Regards
Andy
