Possibly.....

I only wondered whether there was any connection to the other Devon Goodings in Croydon: Samuel Gooding abt 1861 Barnstaple, Devon, England Head Grace Gooding abt 1867 Croydon, Surrey, England Wife Mabel Gooding abt 1891 Croydon, Surrey, England Daughter Albert N Gooding abt 1900 Croydon, Surrey, England Son Ernest A Gooding abt 1900 Croydon, Surrey, England Son Ann Young abt 1823 Weymouth, Dorset, England Boarder Christine

I don't know. It's made me doubt my first thought.... Maybe its just some old guy in the pic..... I'm not sure.... Steve

I assume you were looking at this one for Samuel: Name: Gooding, Samuel Record Type: Deaths Age at death: 72 Quarter: December Year: 1896 District: Croydon County: Surrey Volume: 2a Page: 167 Not difficult to image, following the death of his wife (if the first record is relevant). Was the Samuel Gooding at the later wedding definitely supposed to be the same one? Christine

Samuel Gooding Male Family -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: 1822 High Bickington, Devon, England Christening: Death: Burial: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriages: Spouse: Elizabeth Mules Family (Mother: Mary) Marriage: About 1842 High Bickington, Devon, England

This looks possible for Elizabeth: Name: Gooding, Elizabeth Record Type: Deaths Age at death: 73 Quarter: June Year: 1896 District: Croydon County: Surrey Volume: 2a Page: 140 Christine

I did look at deaths 1910-1920 on Family Relatives for people ages over 80.....There were none, so, unless he made it to over 96 then he died earlier and as you can't see him in 1901..... Mind you, I spent ages (a few years back) looking for a rellies death and turned out she died aged 100 in 1900 - I had been looking in the 1880's!! Merry

Thanks all. He was apparently alive for this wedding in 1910... don't know how.... faked his own death? LOL Steve

found one b1827 wife Jane son and daughter, Herbert and Grace - resident in Suffolk , 4 sutton st registered as Builder......any good? If he died in 1896 as you say then he won't be in the census.......! Need more details really - hope this helps Tanith

Hey, On 1901 census can anyone find this person.... he was born in Devon, High Bickington I think..... apparently he's alive in 1910 at the wedding of a relative, but I don't believe he is, I think he died in 1896, but who knows.... Thanks Steve
