Lambeth is a district of London

The district Lambeth spans the boundaries of the counties of Greater London, London and Surrey

I've had a quick look through the census and the only Gilbert Goodwin I can find with the spouse Charlotte was born in 1787!!

I also did a quick check on freebmd and most of the Gilbert Goodwins born were born in the Leicester/Liverpool area - ie up North.

Try looking for them in 1881...FREE

www.familysearch.org

Where did you get the info about their names and marriage year? Also about their place of residence?

Where was Charlotte born?

It is vital to tell us ALL that you know about people when asking for lookups............

Very interesting, takes a lot of absorbing.

I know a Gilbert Bealey Goodwin married at St Giles in London in 1859
so I thought he would show up on a census in 1861 or 1871 and from there could get the address and other occupants.

So you don't actually know that Charlotte married Gilbert Goodwin.

I wa told by an elderly relative they had seen papers a long time ago.

Im going to order some marriage and birth certs that I know are fairly certain maybe they will enlighten me further.

Thanks.

So where do Charlotte and/or Goodwin fit in your tree?

You should be working backwards from yourself to ensure that any line you follow is absolutely the correct one.................
