Enoch Joseph Goddard and Enoch Goddard

[pixipick]

I have a mystery that i cannot solve, so any assistance would be welcome.

Enoch Goddard and his son Enoch Joseph Goddard both died on the same date 14th May 1834. This may have been the result of an accident, and i would like to know where i would search for the information of these deaths. They both lived in Nottingham at the time of death.

How old was his son when he died

No death certificates in 1834 so cause of death could be difficult to prove

Hi,

Enoch snr was 71 and Enoch jnr was 43. Are there any newspaper archive sites i could look at?

Can you give us more info about the Goddards, eg where did they live? Where did you find the information about their deaths?

There is a burial on the Notts FHS CD for Enock Goddard age 70, of Washington St, Notts StMary, buried on 16 Nov 1834. Obviously this would not fit with a death in the previous May! - so may not be the right person. I can't see any burial for Enoch jnr. in 1834 (or indeed at any other time). There's nothing in the online BL newspaper archive about either death but I can see a death notice for the wife of Enoch snr, Hannah, in 1847.

Hi all, there is a Tree on Ancestry that has those same day death dates, the birth.of Enoch Joseph ranges from 1778 to 1790, he apparently married a Charlotte Mayfield 5th September 1813

The Hannah Goddard above in 1841 is shown as Hannah GODDERD 74 with a John/Maria Spurr and family, John Spurr married Maria Goddard 29th August 1822 Nottingham, St Mary

Hi,

Thankyou all for your input. My research has come purely from Ancestry. I do believe that they are true farther and son. I guess that this mystery will never be solved if there is nothing in the newspaper archives. Im wondering if they were miners and fell victim to an accident at the pit.

Hi OK pixipic,  who did your Enoch Joseph marry ( if at all)?

PS Tree suggests he was a Frame Work Knitter?
