Hello I live in Noordwijk, a coastal village in the Netherlands.

I'm doing resarch on WW1 graves on our local cemetery.

Most of them are British sailors, washed ashore after their ships were sunk.

One of them comes from Bedlington Station.

It's Edwin Goodman, who lived 9 The Clayton in Bedlingon Station.

Husband of Margareth Goodman

I cannot find that address.

Of course there is a pub with that name and a Clayton Street but no "The Clayton"

Does anyone know what and where the Clayton was or is?

Are there still Goodmans in the area who are related to Edwin and Margaret Goodman.

He was born January 28th 1873 in Westminster and he died August 15th 1918 after HMS Scott was sunk.

He was Chief Stoker of Scott

And..

In another source is written:

Mrs M. Goodman c/o Mrs Trotter "The Clayton" , Bellingham Street.

Was The Clayton a boarding house or a pension??

Welcome to the forum, Mark, and good luck with your search. I did know some Goodmans, briefly, and will try to find out more for you.
