AJS, it is nice to see you are also doing some  own research not just leaving it all to us, good work

Thanks you Louisa

I believe that
Joseph Richard Goodwin born circa 1854, Bromley
married
Alice Foster born circa 1856 Silvertown
1874
Although I can't find Maud's registration as yet

Think that is the Maud Harriet Eliza found earlier?

So who was mother and pob of William Spencer b c 1917, and death of Maud?

[AJS1947]

I can trace my mothers side of the family back to 1811.

My fathers family is the enigma

There is no merit in letting others do all the work Louisa.

One other piece of information John Spencer is listed as labourer in charcoal works in 1913

So ASJ are you saying you are looking for the Spencer family  only and not the  Goodwin family

Hi I can now from PM's,:see the relevance of William Spencer b possibly 1917 as he is living with Robert H Spencer & Dorothy I Spencer c 1951/4 in Southall, Middlesex.

But electoral registers don't give year of birth!

[AJS1947]

I am doing both but hit a brick wall with my fathers side so until I was able to get past that, I never looked at the Goodwin side

Please bear with me as I am very new to this.
My thinking is that by using the electoral rolls I can confirm that the individual I can find records for is the individual I am researching.

So as I have my father being born in Bidder Street in 1913 and if the 1915 Electoral Roll showed a family living in Wellington Place with the same family members it would be fair to assume they moved to that address after my father was born.
