Hello, my name was Goodyear. My grandfather was Howard and his father Walter(1858) who was married to a Behague (poss french/flanders connection). Walter had a brother Edward and their father was William (b.1819) who had a brother Edward. Their father in turn was an Edward. We are all based Central UK Warwickshire. Perhaps try searching in that area of the UK? Good luck.

From marriage and death certificates :

Father : George Franklin, Farm Bailiff (1917)
Mother : Annie (informant of death)

The name is Mabel Rose Franklin on marriage certificate and Rose Mabel on the death certificate.

There are only two births for Mabel Rose (as above) and nothing for Rose Mabel Franklin..

From Anne

No they were not adopted, my father was sent to relations in France and his two siblings Eric & Dorothy were kept together and sent to live with a relative in the Uk. Eric never married & had no children, he died in 2008 Dorothy married late in life and there were no children, she is also deceased. So my brother & myself are the only living relatives to my knowledge. We are desperate to know who our great grandparents were, I am following up a lead from you and hope to get birth certificate. with thanks Anne

This might be him on 1911 census but using the name William


HOUSEHOLD GOODYEAR WILLIAM E M 1887 24 Andover Hampshire

If it is the right family perhaps Martha is William's second wife.

Dont think this is the right family. There are two births Edward William and William Edward.
