Yesterday morning I decided that I would present the documentation that I have collected on the life of great-grandfather Joseph James Goodey. He was my mother’s mother’s father. And so I set about the task of gathering all data I may have from the recesses, nooks, and crannies of my PC. I have had genealogy and ancestral info of my great-grandfather Joseph James for some time.
I found that I have a number of pieces of information, but to my amazement I could not find whether or not I did have a copy the page containing his Baptism Entry. Subsequently, I spent a number of hours opening folders and files, searching my desktop and then searching the Internet and associated genealogy providers.
My conclusion, I don’t have any documentation regarding a christening or baptism.
But I do have paperwork, regarding his birth, marriage (Part 142gc), and death.
The Civil Register Index for Births registered in October, November, and December 1868, page 177 follows:

I was able to get a Certified Copy of an Entry of his birth registration from the General Register Office in England.
My transcription –
As always, in in most cases, time changes things. And if anyone may have an image or photograph of Arnold Road in the late 1800s and early 1900s, I certainly would appreciate hearing from you.
Enjoy,
Jim
