Is there more than one?
« on: Monday 19 June 06 09:06 BST (UK) »
I have a birth certificate for Leah Goodwin born 1888 and registered in Stoke on Trent. Daughter of Thomas and Emma Goodwin.

I've only managed to locate one possibility living at 29 Park Hall (?) in both 1891 and 1901.

Can anyone spot any others.

Thanks

That Leah lives in Stoke on Trent, is of the right age and has parents of teh correct names. Do you have any reason to doubt it is the correct one? All of the other Leah Goodwins live in other areas or are too old or too young to match an 1888 birth.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.

 I was told by a relative that the mothers maiden name was Cotter - but thats not what appears on the certificate I have.
I know the Park Hall Goodwin's are mine as address appears on marriage certificate of my relative Nellie Goodwin.
Trying to locate birth for Nellie is difficult as name is quite common around the right time.
So tried to find Leah - less common - only managed to locate one in 1888 - but mothers name is not cotter. So I wanted to check if there was more than one.
