LAST TRACE OF TED GOODSON
THOMAS HENRY GOODSON
1852-1907
THOMAS HENRY ( TREACLE ) GOODSON was born Seven Stars Yard, 188 Brick Lane.
1861 Census, Seven Stars Yard, Brick Lane, Spitalfields, Son
1871 Census, 188 Brick lane, Spitalfields, aged 19 occupation Carman
1875 He married Mary Ann Elizabeth Neale on 16 November 1875 at St Dunstans and All Saints church, Stepney they had 6 children.
1882, Freedom of the city Admission Papers, abode 21 Nelson Street, Whitechapel.
1884, Thomas Henry Goodson born, Died 1914.
1886, Mary Ann Elizabeth Goodson born, Died 1979.
1887, George Edward Goodson born, Died 1957.
1891, Sarah Eliza Goodson born,
1891 Census, Abode: 84 Tudor Road, East Ham. Head, occupation Waterside Labourer.
1893, Violet Ruth Goodson born, Died 1984.
1895, Rose Daisy Goodson born, Died 1940.
The granting of freedom of the city papers, this appears to be an almost essential to his occupation and allowed him to work in the City of London.
Besides being a Carman, and part time boxer, Thomas was a Waterside Labourer, and a Fruit Porter
Its not known how he got the nickname TREACLE, but a good guess is Treacle is what he carried as a Carman.
Thomas died 16 November 1907, he is interred in the family grave in Woodgrange Park Cemetary,
Newham.
