I cant find anything for him on passenger lists or census here or abroad

I would be inclined to send for jessies marriage cert it should say if father was deceased or not and occupation which would give an idea if he had died the time frame.

Lorraine, how kind of you to get back to us all. I do hope your father is progressing well.

The info you found me was spot on. Basil O Rowlands was born in 1919 and he was the son of Richard D Rowlands. Richard was born 1900 in Wandsworth and he married Winifred Coy/Goldspink in 1918.

It is the Coy line I have been chasing. I like to write up in story form the family history of each branch.

Best wishes to you Jennifer

Hi Lorraine,

Yes I have got all of that info..Thanks.

The first wife Annie committed suicide the report of her inquest states that 'she drank poison while being temporarily insane' in 1873
In 1871 census he was named as GOOTMAN living with Annie and Jessie.
in the 1881 census he was with a new wife but no marriage found for these two and also were Jessie & Felix Goatman lived , but Felix is not a Goatman hes is Emma's child prior meeting up with George who now calls himself JAMES.
Thats the last we have known his where a bouts.
Wondering if he ran away due to some unknown circumstances
Felix remained in the UK under the name of HOLLAND.
Thanks again
Marilyn

Hi Loraine,

I have a George Goatman b 1840 in Wellington Hertfordshire his parents were Esther OR Hester & Emanuel Goatman. He changed his name to (James) in the 1881...why we don't know !!

I have him as far as the 1881 census then he dissapeared still living in Hertfordshire with a Emma known to be his wife although NO marriage ever took place, his previous wife died called Annie Goatman in1873.
I have tried on board to see if he went to Australia as his sister did but to no avail,
So I was thinking did he go to Canada or the USA.

Thanking you for any help.
much appreciated

Hi Lorraine, could you please look up an emigration of Andrew Black Knight, he was born 30/3/1873 in Lanarkshire Scotland and went to USA about 1892, he died June 1965, he is on the 1900 census living in Lawrence Ward, Essex, Massachsetts, I cant find him on a passenger list, is it possible to find a marriage there for him as well, his wife was Jessie Robertson McKechnie, they have their first child in 1894 in New Hampshire, anything you can find out would be really helpful.

Lorraine,
they were both born in the U.K. -not sure about William but Annie was born in N.Ireland 1889. Their son was born in Shawnigan Falls,Montreal, and thats all I know unfortunately. Annie was the daughter of a Congregational Church Minister so it would probably be a civil marriage.

hope this helps.
