Hi, just had to tell you i had a break through, ive been trying to find my grt grt grandmother in the 1901 census without any luck since beg of february i found a marriage for her daughter but there was a choice of 2 she could of married, so i decided to do a search using both surnames and hey presto i found my grt grt grandmother and her daughter living together, daughter is married but no sign of hubby been looking for him on the 1901 census found a couple of possibilites but hes living withhis parents and is single so i now need to find what happened to him and i would never have found my grt grt grandmother as she was down as A Smith instead of Adeline Smith 1901 A Smith abt 1845 head single gloveress 1 castle gardens worcester Adeline Goodwin dau mar cant make out her occupation if anyone else can i`d appreciate it. adelines hubby is harry goodwin if anyone can find him or can give me a few ideas where he could be thank you so much

well done.................... bet you're on a high now !!!! if you give us the ref. no, i'll have a look at this occupation for you Jane x

Adeline's occupation is Plain Sewer (shirts) Could Adelne's husband have been in the army, as a lot of men were abroad in the Boer War in 1901? Kath. x

I think mum is Gloveress and dau is Plain Sewer Merry

If you don't find hubby, maybe he is at the Boer War? Merry

There is this Harry Goodwin with his parents but it says he's married. He's a carpenter:- Eliza Goodwin abt 1834 Kempsey, Worcestershire, England Wife Severn Stoke Worcestershire George Goodwin abt 1885 Severn Stoke, Worcestershire, England Son Severn Stoke Worcestershire >>>Harry Goodwin abt 1866 Worcestershire, England Son Severn Stoke Worcestershire Samuel Goodwin abt 1841 Grimley, Worcestershire, England Head Severn Stoke Worcestershire Kath. x

Well done Karen, doesnt it make you feel good when you find something. Brilliant! Yvonne

Well done! it's really exciting when you get a result, isn't it! Have you looked at the Asplin site with the Boer War listings? there are a few possibles for your Harry Goodwin. Christine

hiya, yes im still on cloud 9 lol no i couldnt think what war it would be for that date, mind went blank i knew it wouldnt have been the first world war, strange they hadnt got any children as they married in 1894 unless he was at war. might send for their marriage cert to find out who his dad was and work from there as there are quite a few goodwins in worcester in 1881/91 many thanks kaz

Hi Karen It feels great doesnt it. Finally knocked down my brickwall after a year. Well done you Julie

hi kathleen, if he was married why would he be withhis parents still, thats whats confusing me, ive looked on the boer war site, couldnt see his name there was one with an initial and surname, wouldnt know how to get in touch or where to, to find out if it was him
