Goodyer

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
