>From Jackson's Oxford Journal, Saturday, December 11, 1880; Issue 6665. A BRIEF HONEYMOON. - William COOMBES , coach painter, 36, Albert-street, St. Ebbe's, pleaded guilty to assualting his wife, Catherine Rhoda, on the 28th of Nov. The prosecutrix said she had been married to the prisoner a month, and this was the third time he had assaulted and beaten her; he did so first about ten days after their marriage. He was not sober on either occasion that he had beaten her; he gave no reason for it, and she had given him no provocation. She did not wish to press the charge against him. - The Bench were unanimously of opinion that he had been guilty of a brutal assault, and they sentenced him to a month's hard labour. N.B. This is NOT connected to our research, but, on checking for the marriage of this couple, to find Catherine's name before marriage, we discovered that she was Catherine Rhoda STEED when marrying in Dec. Qtr 1880 in Oxford Reg. Dist. 3a 1104 , AND that William married under the name of William Coombe ( or Coombs ) GOODFELLOW. They are NOT at 36, Albert Street, St. Ebbe's on the 1881 census, nor have we traced them by name searching, although we HAVEN'T spent a lot of time checking the censuses. Good Luck to anyone researching this couple.
