London & South

Here's a list of more or less everything I know so far about Goodworths in London and the southern part of England (almost entirely the "south east"). It's really just an outline - based primarily on 1881 census information and Civil Registration indexes. You will find more detailed christening information on IGI, but I would prefer to check the originals (i.e. microfilm) before posting details here. All locations are in London, England, unless stated otherwise.

Information (marked * ) was kindly provided by a relative of Frederick George Augustus GOODWORTH & in some cases double-checked by me - please contact me if you are related to his branch of the family and wish to get in touch.

Dates and references from the England and Wales Civil Registration indexes (which I've also looked up in Leeds) are in the format

A few years ago it seemed to me that the Goodworths in the London area were completely separate from the ones in Yorkshire, at least from some time in the 1600s. A number of "Goodworth" names could be found on the IGI in London (particularly Marylebone) around 1700, and there were later ones in various areas. Then it became clear that
a. One of the Thomas GOODWORTHs in London in the late 1700s was the son of Thomas GOODWORTH or Thorne in Yorkshire
b. George GOODWORTH (b. about 1785) was the son of William GOODWORTH of Asselby (near Howden in Yorkshire.
c. several branches of the Howden/Selby/Goole family (mainly mariners) moved to London in the middle of the 1800s

and so on.

The only branch that it not obviously connected is the first branch I've liste don this page, but it now seems reasonable to speculate that this Robert GOODWORTH was actually the son of Thomas GOODWORTH of Thorne, b. 1740. It all fits. But at the moment, it is just speculation. If the guess is correct then after about 1700 there are at most 2 Goodworth families in England: The one that originates in Hatfield, and the one that pops up in Leeds in the late 1700s. I have yet to find any link between those two families, but I now find it increasingly difficult to believe that no link exists.

These are my current guesses for the Robert family, but I have no proof that the same Robert married three times.

I must admit I find it difficult to understand why Robert moves backwards and forwards between Buckinghamshire and Southwark - it seems unusual for that period	Ann TERRY ?bur. 20 Apr 1829, Horton St Michael, age 93

A Thomas Goodworth from the Hatfield/Thorne area in Yorkshire is recorded as being an apprentice in London in the 1760s suggesting that there could have been a family link at that time, and a Thomas Goodworth marriage is recorded in the late 1700s, followed by a couple of Christenings of Richard Christopher Goodworth (who turns up in Hatfield later) and Anne Mary Goodworth (who dies in 1873). But I have no further information on Thomas' origin - perhaps the son of John Goodworth and Mary Dawson? - or other children - perhaps Robert? Sarah? Locating the appropriate death/burial info. for this Thomas/Elizabeth might help. The fact that Anne Mary stays in London suggests that Thomas and Elizabeth may have stayed there too.

It turns out that this Thomas was from Hatfield - the "Hadfield" is a mistake. No sign of a marriage record. Will be interesting to see where they were in 1861 (so far,no sign of them in London), and 1851.

The other member of the household listed in the 1881 census is George GOODWORTH, b. about 1811, Howden Dyke, Yorkshire, Former Master Mariner, Father of George GOODWORTH (5). George was almost certainly the son of William GOODWORTH and Hannah SAGAR who had their children in the Howden area from 1798 to 1817. I believe George and his elder brother John married two sisters, Hannah and Ann Eccles respectively, as they both had children called Freeman GOODWORTH named after Hannah/Ann's mother Hannah Freeman. It is also possible that this William GOODWORTH was the son of John GOODWORTH and Mary Dawson of Hatfield.

That finishes the list of most of the London area GOODWORTHs mentioned in the 1881 census, but there are still quite a few mysteries.

A. Up to 1811 when George Goodworth marries Elizabeth Davey there are just occasional glimpses of Goodworths in the Greater London area (see Robert's family at the top of this page). There seem to be individual survivors from the 18th century into the 19th century, but no obvious connection between George (m. 1811) and the past. It does now look as if George was George GOODWORTH c. 1785 Howden, son of William GOODWORTH and Ann Cambridge (?). I have little info on the fate of this George's siblings, but the names of George and Elizabeth's children fit quite well.

B. There's at least one other family in London in the mid-1800s, but they have mostly died or moved (apparently to Barnsley) by 1881. I have now managed to look at the 1851 census pages which tell us that Robert was born in Hull and Elizabeth in Barnsley. Robert is almost certainly the son of Robert & grandson of Ann GOODWORTH of Asselby mentioned in her will. From the marriage index it is clear that Elizabeth was a GOODWORTH prior to marriage (but perhaps not nee GOODWORTH). Elizabeth Goodworth moved back to Barnsley and married Joseph Rodgers in 1860, as she is listed as a "Boarder" in her daughter Isabella's house in the 1881 census.

6	Robert GOODWORTH b. about 1810, Hull, probably son of Robert Goodworth, son of William and Ann Goodwotth of Asselby 1841: aged "20", brick layer, 3rd floor, 5 Charles Court, Strand 1851: At 7 Charles Court, Strand.

The Witnesses are George GOODWORTH and Ann GOODWORTH	Elizabeth GOODWORTH b. about 1812, Barnsley 1841: aged "25" 1851: Aged 39 (I think) from Barnsley This Elizabeth marries Joseph RODGERS (aged 32, bachelor, labourer, living in Carlisle Street, Barnsley, father "dead") on 01 Oct 1860 in the parish church in Brightside (Barnsley). She is recorded as aged 46, widow, residing in Carlisle Street, father "dead". Marriage conducted by Thomas HULME ("incumbent") and witnessed by Jonathon Hall and Mary HULME. 1861: Aged 49, 7 Nelson Street, Barnsley, married, dressmaker (slate layer's wife) with "step"son Robert and "step"daughter Isabella ? d. bmd Mar 1888 Barnsley 9c 126 aged 77 [Previously I had this Elizabeth as d. 1868 in St Martin and the following details, but I now suspect that must be the Elizabeth nee Lacey: This also means Isabella's mother can be 40 rather than nearly 50 b. about 1803 ? d. bmd Mar 1868 St Martin 1a 300, aged 65 Certificate: 22 Mar 1868, Workhouse, St Martin in the Fields, aged 65 Widow of "Goodworth not known"]

Sarah Paterson GOODWORTH d. 1871, Islington Certificate: Islington East 9 Jun 1871, 92 Elmore Street Occupation "Independent" Informant: A. M. GOODWORTH, 30 Coleman Street, Islington	aged 68. Sarah & Ann Mary presumably either (twin?) sisters or sisters-in-law. Births around 1803 suggest they could be sisters of the Robert GOODWORTH who dies in 1853. 1861: They are at 11 Horsefair in Doncaster. Ann is 58, Sarah is 56. They are both from "St George's parish." So they aren't twins, as I'd previously thought. But I have to assume they are visiting late brother Richard Christopher GOODWORTH's family - perhaps they are there for the wedding of Richard's daughter Sarah Ann, who may have been named after them. 1871: Ann M and Sarah P are "head" and "sister" in 92 Elmore Street, both annuitants aged 68 from London

Henry GOODWORTH m. bmd Jun 1883 Gravesend 2a 675	Where was he in 1881? Could also be from Hatfield/Thorne? First, his marriage certificate says: Married 30 Apr 1883, Gravesend Register office.

Witnesses are Mary HEMMING? and A JEFFERYS There is no obvious bmd entry for Henry's death, but later we have a Marriage certificate for: m. bmd Dec 1887 St Saviour 1d 237 24 Dec 1887 in the Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene, Southwark, Surrey: Edward VALENTINE, 35, widower, labourer, of 12 Dale Street, Peckham, father H????? Valentine (deceased) marries Rachel GOODWORTH, 25, widow, same address, father John WATSON, labourer. Witnesses James SANDISON? and Rachel K????? 1891: 55 Cator St., Camberwell, London. Edward is a labourer with a gas company, born Rainham, Kent, aged 40. Rachel is aged 28 from Plumstead, Kent. They have a son George E VALENTINE, aged 11, Scholar, born Rainham, John GOODWORTH, Scholar, aged 7, born Chatham, and Florence A VALENTINE, aged 7, born Rainham 1901: In Kingston on Thames. Edward is a publican from Rainham, Kent, aged 49. Rachel is aged 38 from Plumstead, London. They have a daughter Florence VALENTINE aged 17 from Rainham, Kent. Can't yet fit this in anywhere unless Henry is William Henry (from Hatfield), marries in Derbyshire, disappears, bigamously marries in Gravesend, then perhaps disappears to the U.S. and marries again, everyone else choosing to believe he's dead. Sounds unlikely but I suppose anything's possible :-) [And it's interesting that the Henry in Pittsburgh is listed as immigrating in 1883: perhaps less so now I can read he entry properly and it says 1889]
