Birth APR 1904 • Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, England
Death Possibly CANADA
====
Her husband [Leslie Reginald GOODMAN]
[See a separate RC posting https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=888400.0]

 emigated to New Zealand and eventually drowned in the 1968 wreck of the ferry WAHINE in Wellington Harbour.

So what happened to MINNIE after her Canadian marriage please?
Re-married or return to her JENKINS folks in Newcastle or any other ideas please?

Not sure if you have this :

Newcastle upon Tyne Electoral Registers :

1949
90 Two Ball Lonnen , Newcastle Upon Tyne

Goodman Leslie R
Goodman Muriel Minnie

[Christine53]

Oh this is weird. At 90 Two Ball Lonnen in 1939 are :
Harry Cook b 1902
Muriel Cook b 1904  ( Goodman ( crossed out ) then Scott. )

There is a marriage for Muriel M Goodman and William J Scott 1960 N upon T 1b 144.

No more time now.

Muriel and Leslie married 25 Dec 1923.
The following September, she was on a ship (alone) back to England, with intention of residing in England, and lists her father's address (as matched by the 1921) as her destination.

In your other thread on Reginald, the last post reads:

You may find something interesting in his estate file. A son is mentioned.

Minniehaha.

You should really read at least "File 5".

Greetings all.
Thank you.
This is a 'turn-up for the books'.And I am in a slight state of shock.

[Perhaps as I have just watched the film on TV "My Old Lady" with many twists and turns about old familiy liasons.] and it is the middle of the night again here.

When my head is clear, I may be able to make some sense of the un-named son [Monty] and the name changes GOODMAN to COOK to SCOTT, and the NZ brother in law Alec FORMAN.

I shall have try to follow the sequence very carefully before they all find a correct place on my tree.
Thank you again for all your diligent uncovering.

Speculation
There is a birth for Montague I. GOODMAN , mothers maiden name JENKINS, in Holburn, 4th quarter 1926.
In 1939, there is a schoolboy, Montague COOK, who on 15 Nov 1947 changed his surname to GOODMAN.  He is living in the Patterson Household, in Cumberland.  His birthdate was in Oct. 1926.

If this the right Monty, I am wondering if he was born to Miriam and Harry Cook,  but for some reason, Leslie was under the impression it was his?
Or did Miriam and Leslie meet up again after she sailed back to England in 1924?

BBART,
I value your speculations!
There is a very small but relvevant Ancestry tree but has not had any attention for over a year.
