So far I have obtained a birth certificate for him and discovered that he was born on 14th December 1916. According to the birth certificate his parents were Geroge Goodey and Ada Phillips and he was born at 22 Harwood Road in Fulham, London, England. This is contrary to his marriage certificate, which stated he was 35 at the time of his marriage to my mother Elizabeth Edith May Garrett on 9th December 1950, would have made him 33 and not 35 given his date of birth. Despite the discrepency in thae age on the marriage certificate I am pretty sure that I have the correct Birth Certificate as his Marriage certificate indicates thaty his father was George Goodey and the address my father gave as his at the time of his marriage was 53A Fulham High Street, London, England. At the time of my father's marriage his father George Goodey's occupation is given as Shop Manager, at the time of his birth in 1916 his fathers occupation is given as Motor Driver. I have also obtained a Marriage certificate for whom I believe are my fathers parents and discovered that George Goodey and Ada Phillips were married on 22nd March 1914 at St. Andrew's Church in Islington. He was a Motor Bus Driver at the time and that they gave the same address at the time of the marriage which was 31 Huntingdon Street in Islington and the same age 22. This marriage certificate also indicates that George's father John Goodey was deceased and that Ada's father was Henry Phillips a Kitchen Porter. The witness to the marriage are recorded as Henry Phillips (presumably Ada's father) and Louisa Goodey (presumably George's mother). I have searched the Free BMD and Family relatives.org websites and can only find one John Goodey, married to a Louisa James in 1877. Searching these 2 sites for the birth of George Goodey in and around 1892 I found 3 births recorded but for Ada Phillips many recorded births in and around 1892. I don't know when George Goodey or his wife Ada died, but I do know that George Goodey was alive in 1950 when my father was married and presumably in 1951 when I was born. I believe my father was the first child born to George Goodey and Ada Phillips. Any help to assist me go further back in my resurches would be greatefully appreaciated. Many thanks Richard.
