Ah so ... Clare Bull born 1862 was from a Clara J and different father and a son called Charles Kingham born 1855 was from John Kingham and previous wife!!! Children are before Clara J and John got married in 1866. All very complicated but thats how i make it out to be!

HI Jim It seems as these are the correct people I am looking for! Thanks again for the info! It would appear that they changed their ages too on the 1881 census: Ernest Godding 7 Frederick Godding 2 George Godding 39 James Godding 10 Mary Godding 38 Rosea M. Godding 3 RG11; Piece: 1297; Folio: 45; Page: 14 Why would the name change from Godding to Godden ? Lee
