Afternoon,

Following up from Part 147g, great-grandfather Joseph James Goodey passed away on the 25th of November in 1943.

The Civil Register Index for Deaths registered in October, November, and December 1943, page 354 follows:

I was able to get a Certified Copy of an Entry of his death registration from the General Register Office in England.

I just discovered, via Google maps, (and the A-marker marks the approximate spot), the location of 203 Burrs Road, Clacton-on-Sea in the Count of Essex. This is the address that is provided on both great-grandfather Joseph James’ and great-grandmother Mary Alice (née Crossley)’s final address in 1943 and 1940, respectively. (See Part 145g.)

The following picture, provided graciously by Tony, is labeled “Grandfather Goodey’s bungalow, Clacton-on-Sea. C.1938. (Later bombed out).”

Could it be the same 203 Burrs Road? Note that the deaths occurred in 1940 and 1943, and the note attached to the photo states that the Cottage was bombed out in 1938.

Enjoy,

Jim
