Find Ancestors

Following up on all those Godden half siblings of your grandfather should keep you busy for a wee while Joan :-)

So excited at what you have found that I forgot to say that the sons were not with family.

I think you all should take a bow.!!

Wow thankyou so much for all your help I will look at all the info you have given me.

I have been looking for Bessie and her sons for an incredibly long time. I like Frederick Godden. Don't know why but will check him out.

Thanks Joan
