Goddard dead end

Sadly the link leads to a pay wall for those who aren't with FindMyPast!
He's not baptized at St Andrew according to the original image on ancestry.

Speaking of St Andrew, there's a burial there, 20 October 1850
John Goddard
age 70
abode Ponders End

Is that him?

If it is him - he died before the 1851 census so how has it been established that the baptism in Enfield is the right one?

The FindMyPast baptism is again just an index, Enfield, doesn’t give Church or parents but is clearly a separate entry from the burial

Hi
It's probably the same one as is on FamilySearch
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NJ58-1V5

It's possible they made some indexing error, I don't know.

If it is him - he died before the 1851 census so how has it been established that the baptism in Enfield is the right one?

We need Adam to come back with the info!

Yes, the March baptism is correct. The actual record I have viewed and it names no parents. The 1850 burial is him and this age at death gives 1780 as his year of birth. He appears only on the 1841 Census in Enfield, and was born in the county of Middlesex according to this. His year of birth is 1782 - 1786 on this record.

When you looked at the actual record, were parents named on other entries?

I don't recall  the film is viewable on FamilySearch but I can't remember exactly where. It was still at St. Andrew if memory serves.
