Elizabeth possibly Stocker, later Goodwin, London shoemaker

[Nell]

IF the 1823 marriage is right, then I've found a baptism which fits with 1851 age. But I don't KNOW that this is right!



1796 2 Oct, born 09 Sep
Baptism, St. Clement Danes, Strand, London
Parents William & Prudence


Possible marriage:
06 Nov 1823 St Clement Danes, Strand
John Goodwin & Elizabeth Stocker
St Clements isn't far from Covt Gdn, time is 6 years before birth of 1st known child.

1851
12 Saffron Street, Holborn, London
Elizabeth Goodwin,57, married, shoemaker, b. St. Andrews
Thomas Goodwin, 10, son, b. St. Andrews

Can't find Elizabeth after this.

Looking at the 1851 census, does that mean they were born in St Andrew's in Fife? If so, then In Scotland, Stocker can be recorded as Stalker ot McStalker McStockair.

Hi Shona, NO! They mean St. Andrews, Holborn. The census actually says "St Andrews Middlesex".

Ooops! Silly me.

Not silly at all, you were trying to help. I had never thought of St Andrews as an area of London, though of course I'd heard of St Martins and St Giles.

So many of ex's London lot just appear from nowhere and then vanish. So frustrating.
