Quick update on goodwin-my tree is now looking full with most of the 20 children. i think rosina phylis [rose] was a twin -well that was what my mother was told but other baby died at birth? so now looking into this well trying 2.  my mother was evacuated from London during the war. her house was flattened-when her father went back to collect anything  from the house a few days later everything had been taken so my mother had always told me that i would never be able to find anything out about her side of the family[little did she know that you guys would ] so my mum only has her memories of her family+ 3/4 pics - her mother hephzibah keturah died when my mum was very young but i least with your fantastic help slowly but surely you are now putting her her lost family back together so once again a great big thanks to you all

I'm glad that your mum is pleased - and its so sad that all the family bits and bobs were destroyed or looted.

Presumably, as your mum didn't know too much about her mother's family, she is unaware of decendants from that side?  With BMD records on Ancestry coming up to 2005, it might be possible to trace some of Hephzibah's siblings forward and see what happened to them.

she keeps telling me little bits that she can remember -there was a goodwin [pop] who was something to do with the railway who lived at Arlesford-Hampshire i think he lived in 1 of the railway cottages prob worked on the watercress line. Then there was a William who married a Dinah [she was Irish}- Henrietta may -was the mother of Keturah may alice sayers -my mother didn't know till very late on that kit as she was not known was accualty not her sis i think kit was brought up by the sayer family as 1 of their own. her father i think was a german jew!! so  there are a few things sort of known but as for the rest im trying to find out so looking into all areas using everything and anything thanks

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
