write to E Goodford 23.1.1802 / 7.4.1814 call on Place & Bridger / 13.9.1814 Bridger calls

I have a tentative suggestion as to this person's identity. The will of John Old Goodford of Yeovil PCC 1787 mentioned his wife Maria and his daughters Maria, Elizabeth, Harriot and Mary Ann. The will PCC 1828 dated 14.1.1828 of Elizabeth Bridger formerly Goodford of Romford but late of Windsor, wife of Lt Col James Paul Bridger, mentioned her mother Maria Goodfrod, her brother John Goodford of Clifton Cantelo and his wife Charlotte, her aunt Mrs Harbin, her friend John Frederick Pinney of…

call on Goodyer, sexton, Chelsea 3.3.1804

See Joslyn for possible reason for Godwin's call. In Chelsea Land Tax 1804 there was a George Goodyer at Lawrence St (till 1818 then Thomas Goodyer till 1832) and a Richard Goodyer of Franklin Row (till 1826 then Eliz Goodyer at Blacklands Place and in 1841 & 1851 censuses at Sidney Terrace laundress). George Goodyer was probably the sexton as his signature appeared regularly as a witness in the Chelsea marriage registers, including on the marriage of Thomas West (qv) and Lucy Dallas
