Thanks Brionne, Yes, that is an odd entry I saw, George was not his Father it was John and I believe the Baptism is more likely on the 25th of December 1848 in Basingstoke, father John, mother Marry Ann, Basingstoke but couldn't say for sure.  Nothing in BMD really stands out for his death between August 1905 and the 1911 census, it is odd.

unfortunately no, not the right James Goddard. He had 10 children but non named Ellen.

I am trying to find out what happened to my great great Grandfather James Burniston Goddard b.1848, he is recorded on the 1891 Census living in Basingstoke with his family but spend most of the 1890's in and out of Gaol, his second stint being in 1896, after that I cannot find him of any Census while the rest of the family can be found in 1901. Are there any digitalised Gaol records (perhaps Winchester Goal or it's replacement)?  I know he died after 1901 and before 1911 but alas I cannot find any death record on various sites, perhaps he died in Goal and if so would that be recorded in the normal fashion?  Any help tracking him down would be very much appreciated.

Good evening all. 

This is a wonderful family photo with my Great grand mother, Sarah Florence Goddard b.1878 standing at the back, the very left as you look at it.  It was taken by Henry Augustus Aylward in Basingstoke however the photo is not dated and there is no detail on the back.  She was one of ten children and the facial features (the nose) look similar across the back row so I'm taking a guess it is a family wedding she is at.  My family believed it was 1890's.. Can assumptions be made by her position in the photo, i.e on the left of the Bride so likely related to her? Can anybody help date the photo?

Any help is appreciated.
