Hi Catherine, Welcome to the list always nice when somebody new joins us. Could you clarify what you want to find out, are you looking for living family or is it the ancestors you would like to find out about. Best wishes Joan.

Hi Joan, I want to find out more about the ancestors - both going further back in time as well as finding out more about what various people did. For example, I understand that the Cooper family in Ramsgate was associated with fishing and the lifeboat. My grandparents had a store of photos of various paternal family members and I am always interested in finding living family members who might be able to flesh out other family branches in more recent times and who might also have family photos to share as well.

My Great grandfather was Samuel Goodbourn Moodey, but his birth certificate had him as SAMUEL GOODBOURN son of SAMUEL GOODBOURN (a tailor) and Ann Moody, formerly Adams It seems he could have been born “out of wedlock” and eventually adopted the Moodey name—inserting an “e” at some time. Ann had 2 older children, Edward Moody b 1843 and William Moody b 1840---their father John Moody b 1817 dying 1844 I’m trying to find out about SAMUEL GOODBOURN but have had  no luck. Does anyone have any leads ? Many Thanks Paul Hobday(Never used this site before, so hope correctly!)     ________________________________ From: Joan Leary <joan.leary@ntlworld.com> To: isle-of-thanet@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, 8 January, 2011 18:56:44 Subject: [Isle-of-Thanet] Wraight Hi Catherine, Welcome to the list always nice when somebody new joins us.

Hi Paul Welcome to the list. As Anne said, they are at 7 BATH Road Margate in 1871. Samual aged 21, House Painter. In 1861 he is listed as aged 12 and a servant at 12 Union Crescent Margate. 1851 Moody Ann 34 Head Laundress Canterbury, Kent Adelaide Cottage, St. John The Baptist Thanet, Kent Moody William 11 Son Sturry, Kent Adelaide Cottage, St. John The Baptist Thanet, Kent Moody Edward 8 Son Sturry, Kent Adelaide Cottage, St. John The Baptist Thanet, Kent Moody Samuel 2 Son Margate, Kent Adelaide Cottage, St. John The Baptist Thanet, Kent But I assume you wanted the father Samuel Goodbourn? On the 1851 Census there is 20 year old Samuel GOODBAN a Tailor in Union Street, St Gregory Canterbury Kent But this looks more likely 1851 Goodburn Samuel 31 Head Tailor Margate, Kent Parade No 7, St. John The Baptist Thanet, Kent Goodurn Mary Ann 26 Wife Wife Canterbury, Kent Parade No 7, St. John The Baptist Thanet, Kent On the 1861 Census a Samuel GOODBURN aged 41, Tailor of 3 Fort Road Margate Goodburn Samuel 41 Head Tailor Margate, Kent 3 Fort Road, Margate St John The Baptist, Kent Goodburn Mary A 35 Wife Canterbury, Kent 3 Fort Road, Margate St John The Baptist, Kent Goodburn Frank B 9 Son Margate, Kent 3 Fort Road, Margate St John The Baptist, Kent Goodburn Frances R 8 Daur Margate, Kent 3 Fort Road, Margate St John The Baptist, Kent Goodburn Lawrence J 6 Son Margate, Kent 3 Fort Road, Margate St John The Baptist, Kent Goodburn Sidney C 4 Son Margate, Kent 3 Fort Road, Margate St John The Baptist, Kent Goodburn Emma J 3 - Margate, Kent 3 Fort Road, Margate St John The Baptist, Kent If you wish to me to carry on looking just ask!
