To Chris and trailertrash (I'm embarrassed to call you that - sounds insulting!!!)I think with your help we have established that Mary Ann was the daughter of George and Liz ( the information that Emma was a 14 year old visitor to the household of Robert King where Mary Ann worked, clinches it). I suppose my imagination is working overtime, but a branch of Kings were baronets of Irish origin, and one was a whig MP for Cork. This is where I get carried away!!! William, Mark's father was born in Cork, to Mark Hudson ( the Mark in question wasobviously named after granddad) to a woman of which i know nothing called Christian Fraser. Anyhow. me and my second cousin once removed (I think that's right) Karl Hudson, who lives in Hong Kong, think that Mark was a soldier sent to Ireland to help quell the 1798 rebellion, met Christian, tied the knot had William and returned to Holt. Could he have perhaps met with grooms from the King family and an association built up, and somehow there was a connection (trailer mentions Elizabeth Hudson), hence the fact that they were both far from home when they met! It makes sense that a member of the peerage, could have a house in a posh place like Portland Place. Sounds very much that Mrs George Goddard could have been the former Miss Harrison provided she was born in Finchampstead. Sorry ignore me -I tend to day dream in glorious tchnicolour! ;-) |

Ancestry has George as marrying Elizabeth Hudson(Mary Ann married Mark Hudson later), although family search has a possible Elizabeth Harrison as Georges' wife... |

Thanks everyone, I tend to go for the George/Elizabeth liaison as they obviously had an older a daughter born 1840 which makes the 1804 paternal birth date more feasible. Chris Ho - the Staines connection is interesting - as Mary Ann does not appear to be at home with the George and Elizabeth combo in 1861 - it would be interesting to establish if she was born in Finchampstead.Do you know where in Staines Mark was, Chris? - because he would have worked with horses as his father William was also a coachman; We should take more notice of our parents and grandparents when they are alive,as I have a vague recollection of my grandma(Amy Hudson) talking about her grandfather being a farmer -but I don't know if she ever went to Finchamstead as she was born in Portland Place London in 1883 (obviously where Mark worked) Amy married Alfred Cooper in 1904, in Weybourne, and one thing of note is that all nine of their offspring lived until they were well into their nineties as did Amy herself ! Thanks for all the help |

The George & Ann from the earlier 1871 census posted are still alive & kicking in 1881 - with their 2 youngest children - so I think that rules out that couple? |

I'm trying to find the names of the parents of my great-grandmother Mary Ann Goddard, who was born in Finchampstead Berkshire in 1845. In 1877 she married, at the age of 32, Mark Hudson of Holt Norfolk who, according to the marriage certificate was working as a coachman somewhere in the West End of London - his address at the time was 'The Red Lion' Brompton road and they married at The Parish Church, in the Parish of Holy Trinity Brompton - her address is very hard to decipher , but it looks like 3, Lloyds place. No occupation is recorded for her, and under her father's name the only thing written is in brackets - dead. They later lived in Pitts Head Mews, London and later returned to Norfolk where Mark ran the Ship Inn Webourne. Mark was 33 and Mary Ann 32 at the time of marriage, which was older than average for Victorian times. I wonder if she looked after her sick father who must have died before 1877. I would be interested to know if anyone has any information on this Goddard family, of which there seemed to be quite a few,( hence my problem), in Finchampstead - Janet :-S |
