Hello Jan There are quite a lot of Goodridge families around and several Georges. In your description you have quite a few "we think" so I'll start off with one family. There isn't a family in Lambston parish so I am starting with a family with parents Thomas and Anne and a son George and in 1841. The ages and some names don't fit with your data so let's see if we can work out whether to eliminate this family straightaway or keep as a possible. then I will go through some of the other which fit in different ways but not in others and we can see which is the best. Can you tell me the source of some of the facts you have given and which of them you are most certain of. Where was Grosvenor Goodridge born?
