1881 census

John Goodwin is my Great Grandfather, I am fairly sure this is him age 15, but I have not yet proved it.

I have not been able to find his birth or marriage yet to confirm his parents names. His mother appears

to have remarried presumably at least 7 years previously (- Betsy) - I wonder where her husband was on

census night?

Note that Black Horse must mean something like Black Horse yard - there were lots of census entries there.

I have been told that John and Rebecca Goodwin later ran the Black Horse pub at Heage, now I have

this census record I wonder if it is true or not.

There were lots of other families living in Black Horse including more Bowmers (eg Herbert Bowmer age 40)

There were more Bowmers and a Bowmar in Heage.
