George Henry Goodwin Born: 1882

Post by Shaz »

I have been having a good dig about and have contacted Dudley, Sandwell and Staffordshire Registry Offices in connection with my Great grandfather's birth certificate and they have come up with NOTHING!! I really don't know where to turn next! The only information I have on him is that :

Name : George Henry Goodwin
Born: 1882
Died: 29/04/1935
Buried: Rowley Regis Strict Bapist Chapel, Bell End

The only piece of information I have been able to get hold of is

George Goodwin
Age: 9 ... Born in: 1882
Relation to the head of household: Son
Profession: Scholar ... Birth County: Staffordshire
Address: ... Area:
County: Staffordshire

And this is off a census that I found on the net, maybe him or maybe not!! Is there anywhere else I could try. I've really got the bit between my teeth now and have to find him ;-)

He gives his birth parish as Bradeley and his occupation as Ironworker.

He is a shorty at 5 foot 4 1/2 inches.

He originally joined the North Staffordshire Regiment with regimenta number 16731 but was transferred to the South Staffs with regimental number 47508.

He fought at Gallipoli!
