Thread: GODFREY Edward Wm.

the marriages appear as four to a page ( or sometimes 8 or 10 etc) and you do not know which people pair up unless you know the first name of the partner. in this case edward william married matilda and the other two people made a pair. usually they are no relation but this time it appears that the other people were a william godfrey who married susannah wilson so prob a relation of some sort.

this would appear to be edward at home with parents in 1881
