Hello Everyone Please excuse the cross posting but I have hit a mjor brickwall and I dont know quite where to turn next, so i am hoping that this message will give some clues or insight as to what I should do next. My 3x great grandmother Hannah Mary GOODCHILD, was born c1823 birth place unknown. She gives birth to my 2 x great grandfather Horace in the Chelsea workhouse in March 1848. On 12 April 1849 she marries Richard WARD, her father is named as William GOODCHILD a gardener (the marriage cert doesnt state if he is deceased or not) Hannah Mary WARD nee GOODCHILD dies in the Sept quarter of 1849, so no chance of learning her birth place in 1851.... If anyone has a William GOODCHILD in their tree who would be likely to be raising a family in 1823 ish time could they please see if they could possibley have my Hannah Mary in their tree...I would be most grateful. Many many thanks Tezz _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger 7.5 is now out. Download it for FREE here. http://messenger.msn.co.uk
