>Thank you for your reply, Janice. I quite understand the position so let me jump in here. My maternal grandmother was Eugenie Goodwin, nee WOOLFORD, the daughter of Caroline Hannah SILK and Benjamin WOOLFORD. They were married Aspley Guise in Bedfordshire April 29th 1846 and were, I suspect, a mismatched pair socially.On their marriage certificate she signed her name but he made his mark.The SILKS were a well to do family from Cambridgeshire and Essex. My grandmother was born on the 7th December 1858 at 3, Williams Mews, Marylebone. These WOOLFORDS, that is, my great grandfather and his family, came from the Didcot area of Berkshire. However, there seems to have been quite a group of them in the St Pancras area of London later in the century, engaged in the greengrocery and coal merchant trades - the former possibly deriving from their agricultural associations in Berkshire. I would have thought that there must still be a fair number of WOOLFORDS about in this part of London still, with whom I would have a familial association and, of course, in Berkshire, too. I look forward to hearing from anyone who feels the foregoing information relates to their research. Clifford Walters, King's Lynn, Norfolk.
