Family History Beginners Board / Re: John godward

I have sorted out the chronology of the John Godward family, his first wife Louisa Godward nee Skidmore died at about the time of giving birth to her 6th child Ernest luther, 01.04.1888, they were both buried in the Southwater cemetery at the same time.
His second wife Mary Ann then had her first son George around about the time of her marriage to John 3q 1889. They had 8 children, the last 2 were twin sons who died very soon after birth 1q 1900. Again buried in Southwater.
I am now searching for John's birth,he gives various ages on the 3 census. Place of birth Sonning,Reading. Making his birth range 1835 - 1838, his military records make it 1837. There is however another John Godward. Born about the same time, who died in Windsor, my John died in Horsham 1907 which is correct. I have searched births and christenings for John from 1830 - 1840 using above places and generally Berkshire. His father is George on his marriage record. Can't find anything. Has anyone any ideas where to look next.??
