Andy

hi andy looking for that family now in 1881 having no luck at min

I can't see them either atm

Andy

getting excited keep looking lol

Presume Charles was still around, may have been at sea at time of 1911 census - another child born later in the year?

Births Sep 1911 (>99%)
Harvey John Godsell Portsmouth 2b 812

You say he was a seaman, but on the 1901 census it shows he was in the royal navy, so there should be a service record on national archives.

There are 5 records for plain Charles (plus a couple more with additional names) 2 can be eliminated as they are found on 1901 census - 1 in Hong Kong the other in Kent, which leaves:

Charles born Portsmouth 4/6/1874
another born Bristol 1/1/1872
another, no birth place on summary, born 14/8/1874

What date did they marry, and what age did he give please? Do you have any of their children's birth certificates or baptisms to check if he ever gave a middle name?

Looking at 1901 image, is that Mer, written by side of Navy?...(Merchant)

Chris :)

Hi Chris, I'm not sure - it's been written afterwards against a number of the people who have stated RN. Looking at the census images in that collection there are a lot of RN who have this written on afterwards - think it could be something to do with the category of worker.

Just had a look at the Charles from Chatham Kent. He has a RN record on national archives, and was with his parents on 1901 census in Chatham. The image has the work category added afterwards as well, but it says Men. This has been inserted after Royal Navy and before Stoker.

Also, from the marriage certificate are either of their fathers stated "deceased" - I see Edith's father died in 1894, followed by her mother in 1900.

hi all just comeback from work right there is no deceased listed on marriage cert for fathers his age is 27

he married 1899 gonna have to send of for child birth to see xx
