George GOODMAN

[tsukimoon]

Just wanted to say hi!  My 5th Great Grandfather was Thomas Goodman, married to Zylpah.  Our line comes down through his son James, then down to Elizabeth Ann...

Absolutely fascinating stuff!

A very warm welcome to Roots tsukimoon from me & I'm sure I can say all on this thread. 

Please shout if there is anything you need help with & I know the Goodman researchers will welcome any new blood.

All the best
Maddie

Hi tsukimoon, delighted to have you on roots, welcome welcome. Yes, as Maddie mentioned, if you do have any information at all it would be great to see it. I will have to have a look on my tree to see exactly where your line is. There are some Goodman trees on ancestry if you want to have a look at the information to date. I can send you a PM if you like re my own tree.

Hi tsukimoon
Good to 'meet' you!
Thomas and Zylpha GOODMAN were my X4 great grandparents
I am descended from James 1801
his son James 1831
his son Arthur 1865
Arthur's daughter was my granny Mary Ann Emma GOODMAN 1892.

With other GOODMANS (Brenda, Maddie and Caz etc )we have been working together to try and find Thomas' parents.  No luck yet-  but not for want of trying. We are not giving up yet and it will be a day to celebrate when we finally track them down.
Kind regards
Sandra

Hi all,

I was "walking around 1901 Batchworth" yesterday and, as occasionally happens, spotted a Goodman.
3 actually.
Henry Wm (or Wm H) "the baker, Frederick and Lily.

The interesting thing is that they were in a pub, The Queens Head (long gone from the bottom of Batchworth Hill).
Using Kevan's resources . . . . .
http://pubshistory.com/HertsPubs/Rickmansworth/QueensHead.shtml
The really interesting thing is not just that he (WHG) is there but that he is actually listed (1901C) as "b-in-law"
and the 2x children listed as nephew and niece (to Mr Pearce).
Looking back down the years (but up the list) the surnames of Nichols and Peachey are also "related"

Of course, you are all going to say = "Yeah know all that"
Hey ho, I enjoyed it anyway 

Ray

Hi Ray

So as not to confuse any one who happens to look at this thread, those Goodman's you have found are from my Uncle's family & sadly nothing to do with Thomas & Zylpha or their offspring on the thread. Just another incident of the same name but not the same family & in Ricky too.

Hi, thank you Ray and Maddie for your comments re the Thomas and Zylpah Goodman family. I have noted that connection with Pearce and Goodman before. I wondered if Pearce is an Irish name as there does seem to be quite a few Goodman marriages with Irish folk, through the centuries. It is good to have information re Henry 'the baker' and family, as it helps to cancel out folk, if nothing else. Please keep digging, when you get a moment, as we may still manage to unearth a connection.

Hi everyone, its not that I don't love you any more, but I have not had an unstuck moment to report for such a long time. The photo of the chap with the cap, the one that I found in my parents house, was not a Goodman, according to my cousin. He recognised a likeness with my grandmother's family. That was the Heffernan side, my dad's mother.
