PHILLIPS - GODDARD - RAYMENT

[Shizara]

I have the marriage certificate for John Felix Goddard and Ethel Phillips.  Here it states that his Rank/Profession is that of a Cinematographer and his father a Decorator.  The marriage was in 1912.

In 1914 when daughter, Ethel Joyce (known as Joyce) was born his occupation is stated as being an Electrician (Journeyman).

I am happy to send you copies of these.

Prior to finding the marriage certificate the only information I had on John Felix was by word of mouth from two sources.  The first being my grandmother who had said he was a "cinema worker" and the other, was from the daughter-in-law of Ethel's sister, who, when I visited her some 13 years ago had remembered them living in Saffron Walden and that John Felix had worked in a cinema.

.. and yes, the census information is very helpful.  Thank you.

Reflecting on all of this, I have no idea why the occupations are different for him, but, even in today's world people change direction later in life.  The rest of the information seems to match up.

For all those who have helped or taken an interest in this search, my grateful thanks.  I have had my first meeting and am pleased to say it was a very positive encounter for us.
