Goodman family (Jan 07 Green)
Looking for info about the Goodman family - my earliest ancestor confirmed is Charles Goodman born 1768, wife Elizabeth Gudgeons. I want to find his parents etc if possible. Know he had children George and William - anyone know any others? The family were builders. I know that George's son Josiah became a bit of a philanthropist in Cranfield in later life although he lived in London. I am descended through Josiah's brother Charles.
