Elizabeth Goode (nee Pearce) (parents unknown as I don't trust any of the LDS stuff I've seen so need to research this more closely) 20 Aug 1820 - still alive in the 1901 census, not sure of death date.

Rachel Cooper (nee Goode) 24 Feb 1850 (Thomas Goode & Elizabeth Good (formerly Pearce), Westbury on Severn 1850 Newnham, County of Gloucester. Taken from her birth certificate.

Rhoda Minnie Goode 6 May 1869 she gives birth to Minnie Goode (father not listed and I've now idea where the name Rhoda comes from but it is used pretty consistently ever after though it is not on the birth certificate). The informant is Elizabeth Goode.

24 Aug 1873 she marries Anthony Cooper 25 years old, son of William Cooper deceased Collier at the registry office, Westbury on Severn, Gloucester.
Minnie Goode marries Albert Smith July 10 (or 18, its hard to read but as this is the day before she has her daughter Olive Elizabeth Smith I doubt it is the 18th).

Albert dies in 1891 as disclosed by a number of forum users (thanks :-)
