i am looking for susan goodwin parents and also if she had any brother are sisters susan was born 1847 seaham harbour

Susan's mother seems to have had a tragic life. To understand the picture, I am enclosing various births deaths and marriages, plus the 1841 census, and the 1851 census. You will need to read this fully to understand the picture.

Firstly, Susan's mother was Hannah Brown, who married James Tate, as follows:-

Marriages Sep 1837
BROWN Hannah Sunderland 24 131
TATE James Sunderland 24 131


This James Tate died in the first quarter of 1841.

Deaths Mar 1841
TATE James Sunderland 24 205

On the 1841 census, which only gives names and not much information, Hannah and a 5 months old daughter also called Hannah are living in Whitburn Street, Monkwearmouth, Sunderland.

Hannah Tate abt 1816 Durham, England Monkwearmouth, Durham
Hannah Tate Aged 5 months abt 1841 Durham, England Monkwearmouth, Durham

Hannah then appears to have had a child in 1843

Births Sep 1843

TATE Mary Sunderland 24 285

Then Hannah remarries Samuel Goodwin

Marriages Jun 1846
Goodwin Samuel Easington 24 123
Tate Hannah Easington 24 123

She has the child Susan in 1847

Births Mar 1847
Goodwin Susan Easington 24 117

Then, her second husband dies

Deaths Mar 1849
Goodwin Samuel Easington 24 4

AND, on the 1851 census, she is named as Goodwill, and all of the children have been given the name Tait, but this is obviously wrong, and Susan is a Goodwin. Also living with her is her brother, who is called John Brown.

1851 census.

Hannah Goodwill widow Born abt 1817 Monk Wearmouth, Durham, England Head Dawdon, Durham
Hannah Tait Daughter of Hannah abt 1841 Monk Wearmouth, Durham, England Daughter Dawdon, Durham
Mary Tait Daughter of Hannah abt 1844 Monk Wearmouth, Durham, England Daughter Dawdon, Durham
Susan Tait Daughter of Hannah abt 1847 Seaham Harbour, Durham, England Daughter Dawdon, Durham
John Brown Brother of Hannah abt 1826 Monk Wearmouth, Durham, England Brother Dawdon, Durham

I hope you can understand this, rather complicated, but it does fit together.

this appears it is not the right family as i know what her fathers name was and it was samuel goodwin, that is the only information that i do have

If you read my previous message you will see that her father was indeed SAMUEL GOODWIN, but he died very soon after she was born. I really believe that this is her family, but her mother had been married before and widowed before.

i will have a look into it. thank you for your help, i knew her farther was samule goodwin as it is on susan marrage certificate
