Hi John & John

This from the PR index CD of Colchester parishes published by ESFH - there
are 6 in all covering the period 1754-1851 and amazing value :

Edmund Goody aged 23 bachelor m Jane Taylor age 20 spinster banns 5 Oct 1850
at St Leonard's. Witnesses James Sach, James Taylor

I can go further back off list provided the events were in Colchester

>> Hi
>> I m trying find out more about by Bird and Goody family relations Jane
>> Goody was born in Sept 1853 in Colchester. She married Arthur Bird (son
>> of George Bird and Amy Wynn) on 7 April 1871 at Colchester. Their
>> marriage certificate states that Jane's Father was Edward Goody,
>> occupation tailor. She was living in Magdalene Street at time of
>> marriage. Arthur and Jane had 4 children- Clara Jane bn 1872, Walter
>> 1874,
>> Arthur Ernest 1876 and George Edward 1878. I would specifically like to
>> find out confirm Jane' mother's name and anything about Jane and
>> Arthur's
>> children. It is possible that George Edward married a Honour Cage in
>> 1901, but I am not certain.
