Hello listers As a new subscriber to this list I would like to make contact with any other listers having an interest in the GOODIER family name. My particular line revolves round Joseph GOODIER who married Esther LEE at Eccles in 1834. He was my 2xgreat grandfather, who at one time was the licensee of The Boathouse Inn at Irlam. I am researching his ancestry and that of his relatives by marriage and would be pleased to hear from anyone with connections to this family. I have quite a bit of information on his descendants which I am happy to share.Thank you. John Aston Coventry

I have on record spreadsheets for Baptisms - Burials and Marriages (up to 1837) for the above surnames from the parish registers of Eccles Parish Church.
