Hi Jonw65

Yes I have the 1907 Marriage Certificate
Is there anything in particular you wish to know off it ?

[jonw65]

Hi Tony
Can you just confirm the basics? The father of John of course, although I think the Spencers seem to be cleared up.
What I would particularly like to know, please, is what it says about Maud and her father, including address if poss. Since we really need to be sure of her in order to help with when and where she might have died.
Sorry to be a nuisance!
Thanks
John

John, I am sure Tony won't think you a nuisance, he does realise we are trying to help him solve his mystery, must admit would like to solve this myself,  time will tell before we can say " ah yes, solved it",
in time I am sure  we will

Hi Jon

Definitely not a nuisance.

John Spencer/19 Years/Bachelor/99 Stanley Road, Stratford/Henry Spencer (Deceased) Chimney Sweep.

Maud Goodwin/20 Years/ Spinster/130 Pond Road, West Ham/Robert William Goodwin/Mariner

Hope that helps.

Tony

Hi Tony
Thank you for that.
It confirms John son of Henry the chimney sweep (as expected!)
Maud's address is interesting, I thought it was familiar. If you go back to the 1901 census we had Alice Maud Goodwin, age 10, living at 130 Pond Road, West Ham. With George Copp and the widowed Elizabeth Goodwin and Elizabeth's other children.
Quick look - Elizabeth Goodwin married John Bennett in 1909

If that is the case we are back to a death

So is Maud  actually Alice Maud Goodwin, and dropped the Alice ?
If so that would make her 17 and not 20 when she married or did she have an elder sister?

Nothing is ever simple

Hi
It seems that she added a few years to her age when she married in 1907. She was 19 in 1911.
It was keyboard who found Pond Road 1901 in Reply #70, but did we ever find the birth registration of Alice Maud?

I haven't but will certainly get searching tomorrow
