Hi,

thanks for reply.

I have seen that entry for 1881 census for young James and I was almost sure it was him as you suggested but his place of birth was incorrect. However, the workhouse probably didn't know where he was born so it is very possible - proving it is the problem.

Part of the mystery is that Emily's husband, James is listed on both Lewis Goode's birth cert. (1879)
and baptism (1879) record as the father.

Its all a bit of a mystery so thanks for your help - I need as much as I can get!!!!!!!

Is it at all possible that if James Goode Snr. did die in 1872, he was not Lewis's father?

I am pretty certain that Emily was the person who registered Lewis' birth in 1879!
