Hi Heywood,

Many Thanks for the response.
I'm not certain that Thomas Issac was the father, only that he is down as on the census and the children are garandchildren of his parents. However I suppose they could have been a his siblings child maybe as he had a brother John? I will look into this.

Thanks again.

Lisa



Hello Lisa,
Welcome to Rootschat 
How sure are you that Thomas Isaac was the children’s father?
There is a Thomas H with parents John and Mary Ann. She would seem to be Woodward and John and M A are with Thomas and Eliza in 1881.
There is a birth for a Ruth Good with mmn Woodward.

Hi Thanks for the info.

I have found Thomas & Eliza Goode 1861 Census occupation Boatman; in 1871/1881 again Boatman now Living at 6 Boat Row and then 1891 moved to Watery Lane Boatman / Barge. They had a child named Thomas Issac Goode he had 2 children Thomas Henry and Ruth Goode but no mother to be found anywhere in the census or records? Thomas Henry seems to move around a bit. In 1901 Eliza has the grandchildren with her in Tipton but is then back on canal at Dudley Port on 1911 census working in Navigations? Thomas Henry my 2nd great grandfather married Harriet E Perrot and apparently they lived in Canal Cottage Thomas Henry died young; they had 1 son William Thomas Goode. Harriet remarried Jacob Whitehouse and lived in Canal Cottage William Thomas went to live with his maternal grandmother Perrot when 7yrs. My Nanny Whitehouse continued to live in Canal Cottage for many years and they worked the locks. My mum was born in 1950s and she was still there then.

This is all I know and ive come to a standstill at Thomas Goode (Boatman) born in 1823 says from Stone, Staffs his parents ? John and Jane Goode but no records?
 Many Thanks
