Martha Godwin retires age 99!
« on: Friday 25 August 17 11:01 BST (UK) »
Hi. I have found an newspaper article (hopefully attached) and would like to find out more about Martha's shop. Her husband was William Henry Godwin. She lived in South Stoneham until the 1901 census when she was in Bitterne where her newsagent shop was. William died in 1899 so perhaps that is why she moved, she had been a dressmaker. In the 1911 census she was a newsagent working from home but i can't read the address - hopefully also attached.
I would love to find out the address of her shop and more about her so any help would be wonderful. Thank you
