I have finally found I hope, someone I have been looking for for ages, he married an Alice Goozer in about 1898 Islington Shoreditch or Bethnal Green .According to the census for 1901 she was age about 31 born in Bethnal Green cannot find her marriage or birth and his name is so common it would be easier to find her,would appreciate a look up thanks

Several Goozers, but no Alice and I can't find her 1898 marriage either. Groom's name?

Only Alice Goozer that appears on Ancestry (without putting a birth year in search) is on New York Passenger Lists - which I can not view. Maureen

I reckon this family is going to be one of those NEVER correctly entered, never mind transcribed! Have you decided what you are going to call them yet, Val?? (no rude replies, please!) Merry

I always thought it was easier unusual names but it seems not. I cannot tell you what I have been calling them, he was my nans brother and I cannot get much further with her so thought I would try her brothers and sisters , but one Sister died as a baby another never married and he is the only one who survived to adult hood.Hope this gets me somewhere thanks so much
