Find Ancestors

Hello
I wonder if anyone can help me find information on a Thomas Henry Goddard who I found living with my grandmother in Nottingham according to the 1939 census. I believe he was born in Nottingham 1873 or poss 1874. I'd like to get census info which may shed light on his parents and any siblings. But more importantly any wife children and his death.
Thank you
Sue x

Can this be Thomas only being christened as an adult, in 1911 ??

William's with Florence in 1911. He says he's been married for 37 years.

Still don't see any Goddard/Johnson marriage apart from the one posted by Maddie.

Ancestry suggests that this is William's marriage, but it can't be:

Marriages Dec 1871 (>99%)
GODDARD William Basford 7b 196
Holmes Emma Basford 7b 196

There's no previous Johnson/Holmes marriage , and Emma would have been too young in any case.

There are possible Holmes and Johnson births - but no Georgiana or similar, apart from one in 1844:

Births Mar 1854 (>99%)
Holmes Emma Basford 7b 127

Births Dec 1853 (>99%)
JOHNSON Emma Basford 7b 114

I don't see a likely Nottinghamshire death for an Emma Goddard of the right age.

Thank you both so much. You've helped me in the past and you have come out fighting this time too. Still trying to make sense of it all. Maybe tomorrow when I'm not so tired. Could you tell me what mms means please ? Also I understand the quarters when they are numbers but what does quarter D and quarter S etc. mean ?
Maddie, the first message you sent refers to 3 Byron street with Alice and three others. What year is that please ? Is it a census or something ? Thanks again
Sue x

"mms" means "mother's maiden surname".

Quarter D means the quarter ending in December - ie - Oct, Nov, Dec.
Quarter S = July, August, September.

The record Maddie posted showing 3 Byron Street is from the 1939 Register.

About 1939 England and Wales Register

Historical Context

Initially taken due to the onset of war with the purpose of producing National Identity Cards, the register later came to be multi-functional, first as an aid in the use of ration books and later helping officials record the movement of the civilian population over the following decades and from 1948, as the basis for the National Health Service Register. The 1939 Register is an extremely important genealogical resource, not only for the rich detail and information recorded for each person and household, but also in helping to bridge a thirty-year gap in census data. The census taken in 1931 was destroyed during the Second World War and no census was carried out in 1941 due to the ongoing conflict. The register, as held by The National Archives, contains data only for England and Wales and does not include records from households in Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.

Thanks Argyll gran. I thought that was the case but I just wanted to be sure.
