John Goodyear & Elizabeth Smith - Can't find any marriage info??

SharronHumphreys — 2009-09-06 00:17:24Z

John Goodyear was born abt. 1827 and married Elizabeth Smith born abt. 1832.

There are five children I know of, the first Mary Jane Goodyear born in 1858.

But I cannot find any marriage information for John and Elizabeth, so any information would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Michael Goodyear / The Goodyear Family

libralady52 — 2009-08-11 22:41:18Z

Another contact tells me that someone called Michael Goodyear has lots of information about the Goodyears I'm connected to; I'd be really pleased if he would get in touch.

I'm looking for information about the children of Robert Goodyear(sometimes listed as Goodyer) born 1846 in Malvern, Worcestershire England. He was a bootmaker who moved to London and married Ann Angel(l)in 1871, living in the Wandsworth/Battersea. The children were Thomas Alfred born 1871, George Frederick 1876, William George 1878 (my great uncle) and twins (H)anna(h) Maria and Elizabeth Ann born 1880. Robert died in 1882 and Ann married John Banks and had another son, James Banks, who was my grandfather.

Many thanks

Jean

MargaretLewen — 2009-05-19 14:27:51Z

I suspect that you are mixing two Goodyear families together. The ancestors of Charles Goodyear came to what is now the US in the 1st great migration during the 1630's with the founder being a Stephen Goodyear who was the Liet Gov of the New Haven Colony. There is a wonderful book entitled the Genealogy of the Goodyear family written by Grace Goodyear Kirman and published in 1899 that gives an extensive history on Charles Goodyear. Now to add another twist to this my maiden name is Charles, and the connection between my branch of the Goodyear family and the Charles family occured in about 1907 in the Tompkins, Chemung part of New York State. My father's name was Orman Goodyear Charles. Several of the descendants of Stephen Goodyear moved to Genoa in Cayuga County New York in about 1801 and the Charles family which had been originally in New Haven (John Charles was a contemporary of Stephen Goodyear in New Haven) but his descendants had moved to Massachusetts sometime between 1700 and 1711, and then to Cayutaville, Tompkins, New York about 1832. Now if you have definite proof that your father's family immigrated from England int he 1800's I would say that your Goodyear's and the Goodyear family in this county which includes Charles goodyear the inventor might be linked clear back into the 1600's through Stephen Goodyear (also a branch of this family in the name of a brother of Stephen probably went to Newfoundland). The connection to the Charles family might be through the John Charles family of New Haven.

I have lots and lots of Goodyear info, if you need it.
I didn't know about this Barrett branch until recently, so I don't have it in my tree yet, but checking alden-bugden.ca, Sarah is the daughter of Richard Goodyear and Patience unknown.

I also have info on Olivia's husband's family, the Spurrells.
I am related to both the Spurrells and Goodyears.

I have info on Monmorth's children and have his death certificate, obituary, and photos of his grave marker. Need info on county of Eliza's death.

Re: Goodyer Family Tree

Hi Irene

That sounds right I had suspicions that Roberts parents may have been Robert Goodyer and Elizabeth Beak this now looks like a strong possibility.

Thanks

Re: Goodyer Family Tree

2006-10-14 21:43:55Z

Hi Irene

Unfortuantly I no longer have access to Ancestry which is how I previously had access to the censuses. I do plan to get this again in the not too distant future so this is something I will need to look into (re prev marriage for Charlotte Allison and the mystery man??)

Thanks
Jenny

Re: Goodyer Family Tree

2006-10-13 10:47:54Z

Oooh thats excellent any information you could provide would be fantastic!!! I think it was only Elizabeth and Henry that were born in Box. Their older brother Robert was born in 1839 in Bath. The next child born after Elizabeth and Henry, Alfred Theodore was born in Bristol in 1846. SO i should doubt there were any other children born in box unless they died very young??

Jenny

Re: Goodyear family

MargaretLewen — 2008-04-05 01:14:22Z

So where do the goodyear's fit into this and is possible what names do you have? Several names repeat themselves in the goodyear family that are descendant from Stephen Goodyear, including Stephen, William, Timothy, Andrew, Theopholis.

Re: Goodyear family

MargaretLewen — 2008-04-01 12:44:41Z

I went back and reread this and it is not clear that the information that we need is of the grandparents andor great grandparents of the individual currently living not of Stephen Goodyear of New Haven.

Re: Goodyear family

MargaretLewen — 2008-04-01 12:41:52Z

If the Goodyear family that you are looking for has any connection to Stephen Goodyear of the New Haven colony there are several different branches of it posted at the world connect page of rootsweb. If it is the German Goodyear family it may be that some of those are posted. Please if posible provide a little more information such as first and middle names and birth and death dates for the grandparents or great grandparents. Also the maiden name of the wives for these individuals.

Re: Goodyer Family Tree

Dredge27 — 2007-03-09 15:54:34Z

Jenny not sure if this is any good but I did find a marriage for a Robert Goodyer to a Elizabeth Fox 2.9.1795 in Melksham. Not found any christenings but I don't have anything for Melksham so some could be there. May be worth looking into. Strange that there are no other Goodyer or Goodger's in 1841 and 1851 censuses for Wiltshire Somerset or Gloucestershire.

Irene

Re: Goodyer Family Tree

Dredge27 — 2007-03-09 15:40:08Z

Hi Jenny

I have had another look for Goodyer/Goodger in 17 parishes round North and West of Chippenham and Robert's is the only birth I can find. Going by the census 1841 and 1851 I can't find another Robert Senior anywhere in Wiltshire Somerset or Gloucester. So he may have died but where.

Have you managed to get Roberts jnr marriage yet. On the census he had Butcher so it would be interesting to find where he learnt his trade, also if he had father deceased. Not that they all put that on anyway.

The 17 parish christenings up to 1837 I have looked at are
Biddestone, Box, Castle Combe, Corsham, Ditteridge, Grittleton, Hardenhuish, Kington St Michael, Langley Burrell, Leigh Delamere, Littleton Drew, Nettleton, North Wraxall, Slaughterford, West Kingston and Yatton Keynell. I have all the Christenings for these parishes not that should help a little.

Irene

Re: Goodyer Family Tree

Dredge27 — 2006-10-10 18:32:16Z

Found a christening in Box for Elizabeth 1841 and Henry 1844. Parent Robert & Eliza. I will look around for you and see if I can find Robert's Christening and or marriage. Lets hope he marriage after mid 1837 then you should be his fathers name.

I should add these are the only two Goodyer christenings I have found but I only started from 1834 and only up to 1871. Will try and look at the earlier fiche church records later for you.

Irene

Re: Goodyer Family Tree

Dredge27 — 2006-11-29 21:22:49Z

Hi Jenny

Not sure if you have this, Charlotte Allison married William Boulter in Yatton Keynell 6.1.1819. She could have been married before? In the 1841 census there is a Emanuel Grant born about 1825 Castle Cary in Somerset. He is after Charlotte Boulter who is with the family in Box. It may not have anything to do with the Goodyer and Boulter's but you never know. Do you have the 1841 census for Box.

Irene

Re: Goodyer Family Tree

Dredge27 — 2006-11-29 21:22:49Z

Hi Jenny
Found Robert Goodyer birth 19.3.1818 in Box parents Robert and Elizabeth. His father could have been a Yeoman, will have to check that on another fiche viewer mine not very good. Will see what else I can find.

Irene

Re: Goodyer Family Tree

Dredge27 — 2006-11-29 21:22:49Z

Robert & Eliza Boulter Marriage
Sept qtr 1840 Bath vol 11 page 41
This will give Roberts fathers name and Eliza's.
Not had time to check the other details yet. Will try and look in the burials for Box Church and see if I can find Roberts Parents. Also look and see if I can find any siblings.

How far back have you got?

Thank you........I know that mine all came from England. I have got back as far as the 1740s.......however during the late 1800s they began to go overseas, I had wondered if any had come to the STates. Thanks for the ideas though.

You may want to check the Gutjahr family.
I am a descendant of Johann Christian Gutjahr, b. 1714 in Germany. He settled in Lititz, PA, and most Goodyears in central PA are descended from him.
Many Goodyears between Lititz and Carlisle, PA, including Harrisburg.

Re: Researching Goodyer/Goodyear ancestors

RobertCGoodyear — 2007-02-19 12:30:56Z

Frederick Charles Cass, M.A. wrote a book in the mid to late 1800s, "The Parish of Monken Hadley."

In it he describes the origins of the Goodyear fanily.
It was spelled variously Goodere, Goodyere, Goodier, etc.

Within the book is a "family tree" which shows much of the lineage between Ricardus Goodere dePointon in the 13th century and the 1600s.

I come from a German line which was originally Gutjahr, but had an interest in the British Goodyear.

Please contact me at bob@goodyear-mascaro.org for more info.

Re: Researching Goodyer/Goodyear ancestors

RobertCGoodyear — 2007-09-01 21:45:26Z

I am a Goodyear from a different line. The name was originally Gutjahr, and they came from Germany in 1738.

However, I have done a good deal of research on the British Goodere/Goodyear family which settled in Monken Hadley, north of London.

You can see the information I have obtained at;
