    1. [NTT] Godward puzzle
    2. Marcia Green

    3. Anyone on the list have a suggestion for this puzzle? I have a Copy of a baptism of James son of Eliz.th Godward in Lowdham, Nottinghamshire, England "Oct 16th 1791: James illigitimate Son of Eliz.th: Godward born the same day." Then I have a burial record for an Elizabeth Godward of Lowdham in 1795. I am attempting to learn what happened to her son James after his mother died. I've tried marriage and death indexes, and the 1841 census. What would be my next step?

    3. Hi Marcia, James was baptised and "born the same day" which may signify that he wasn't expected to live, a rushed baptism would usually have been a private baptism. If you have looked everywhere else and haven't found him, then I'd suggest searching through the parish register to see if there was a subsequent burial for him.

    3. I can't see any such death. Another possibility is that the child lived and was "adopted" (in the informal sense) by another family member. Have you looked at Elizabeth's close relatives?
