Hello debbda

I saw your  message but am unable to reply.

This reply takes me up to two posts, I'll find something pertinent to post elsewhere and get back to you.

Hello debbda

I don't know if life has intervened or if you didn't receive my last two PMs, but I know have a hard copy photo of William John Godfrey, as well as a couple of other photos of his family. These were given to me by his grandson John Grunnell.

I'm happy to post to anyone who is descendant.

I haven't got around to scanning them yet, but when I do I will attach it to his wikitree profile https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Godfrey-2737

I just took a look at this thread because I have an interest in Bermuda matters, but I see that a very distant relative is mentioned here. Jemima Nute's nephew Albert Edwin Nute married Eme Jane Parkes in Liverpool in 1921.

Dear Mark. I am SO sorry I didn't get any notifications by email that there were messages but thank you SO MUCH for putting the photo up as I've just found it. His family will be thrilled. 
Who are the other photos of? Do you still have the hard copies?

Hi Shaun,
Email notifications from 2017 didn't arrive so apologies for not chatting to you.

Jemima (b 15/6/1856 Dodbrook, d 2/10/1908 Babbycombe) was my 2*great grandmother. She married a widower, John Cann 8/10/1854, in E. Stonehouse and had 11 children.

One of her children Mary Balkwell Cann (b 28/1/1859, Dodbrook, Kingsbridge) m Samuel Weeks (b 1859 Kingskerswell) in Sandys Parish, Bermuda 19.6.1883. 

Ada was Mary and Sam's child.  Unfortunately Mary died 1885 in Bermuda when Ada was a toddler so that family history is very sketchy to say the least! We don't know why either Mary or Sam went to Bermuda although we think Samuel went in the Navy.

Do you have anything you've heard via your own FH, or even any photos please.
Debbie

Wonder why Mary Cann would have gone out....nurse-maid or something? Or did she go with her brother John Henry Cann who died 1963 in Bda? (worked in the Dockyard as a Writer.)
