Hi Mike, Have to make this quick as I am about to go out. Keep in mind I know nothing about English geography but Herbert John GOODMAN's father, Edward was christened on the 18 July 1816 at Fyfield By Marlborough Wiltshire, England. Cheers Anne H. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Boyd [mailto:mikejboyd@bigpond.com] Sent: Monday, 26 June 2006 9:44 AM To: AUS-MILITARY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [AUS-MIL] Herbert Goodman Anne Does your Goodman family come from Ayrshire? I was typing up a Boyd Mure/Muir family from Rowallan near Fenwick, Ayrshire yesterday and the name The Goodman of ??? came up several time. When I was there last year I copied a number of Boyd families and came home with 200-300 Boyd families, but I have not looked this morning at the contents pages of several references to see if actually I did copy part of these Goodman families.
