Hi

My 2 x great grand father John Goodey (sometimes spelled Goody) and his father Richard Goodey were both Bakers throughout the period 1840 to 1891.

When Richard Goodey (born about 1818 in Mongwell Oxfordshire) married his cousin Mary Goodey on 15 July 1840 at St. Mary's church, Newington, Surrey his occupation was Baker, on the 1851 Census he is living in Islington occupation Baker, in 1861 he is living in Bethnal Green occupation Baker. In 1871 he is living in Poplar and now his sons John age 21 and Robert age 16 are also working as Bakers along with him.
In 1881 Richard is now age 63 still with the occupation Baker and still living with his wife Mary at 98 Bakers Row Mile End New Town.

Robert didn't continue with in the Baking trade but John did and is working as a Baker and living in Clerkenwell in 1881 with his wife Mary Ann and their first son John age 1 and 1891 he is living with his wife Mary Ann in St. Pancras with their children and still working as a Baker.
John died later the same year of Pneumonia. His father Richard Goodey was in the workhouse in 1891 still described as a Baker . He died there in 1895.

I am interested to know if there are any rercords of registration for Bakers living and working in London?

Best wishes

Richard
