Ooooh!

Lewis Charles Goodwin enlisted to the Northumberland Fusiliers in WW1, and sadly died.  On the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website, it lists Lewis as the son of Stephen Thomas and Elizabeth Hephzibah Goodwin of 3 Avenue Road, Lewisham and the husband of Lily Amy Goodwin of 67 Sparta St, Blackheath Hill, Greenwich

There is an amazing advert for Dr Williams Pink Pills in Reynolds newspaper March 1900 that refers to Mr Stephen Goodwin, a foreman scaffolder of 3 Avenue Road Lewisham and his wife of 14 years.  Sent you a pm 

so the address is the same as the sidney goodwin on the 1901 census
it seems to be looking more and more likely that sidney and stephen could be one and the same

Looks like the family liked to stick together, because on the 1911 census Robert Goodwin and his wife (Elizabeth, 24, bn Lewisham) and daughter (Irene, 1yr 10 mnths, bn Lewisham) are living at 3a Avenue Road, Lewisham.  Looking at freebmd, I think that Robert Edward Goodwin married Elizabeth Anne Birch dec qtr 1908, Lewisham 1d 1862

Elizabeth Lily Goodwin married Robert Benjamin Hibbett Jun qtr 1910, Lewisham, 1d 1480
