Birth record for Benjamin Goodison

I have come to a bit of a standstill with the Goodison clan. I believe Benjamin Goodison, married to Eliza Padley in 1838 in Ecclesfield. Lived in Wortley area. I am unable to trace his father or to find the correct father. I can't find a full copy of Benjamin and Eliza's wedding in 1837. I found a couple of possible parents for Benjamin, Who I believe was born around 1814. I found a baptism for a Benjamin Goodison. It says the father is William Goodison and mother Ann. However, I can find no further details or even know if this is the correct baptism records?

Benjamin in the census, mentions his wife and all his children

1841 in Bradfield Parish Where born Yorkshire, England
1851 in Bradfield parish Where bornBradfield, Yorkshire, England
1861 in Bradfield parish Where born Bradfield, Yorkshire, England
1871 in Bradfield Parish Where born Ecclesfield Yorkshire England
1881 in Bradfield Parish Where born Tifield, Oxfordshire, England (thinking error in transcribing)

Re: Birth record for Benjamin Goodison

Hi Sarah

The original record for Benjamin & Elizas marriage is on FMP. But because its a parish record (prior to certificates) it doesnt provide the detail you're looking for:

Benjamin GOODINSON married Eliza Padley 13 Feb 1837, St Marys Ecclesfield
Witness: John Gould & Joseph Spooner

The witnesses may provide some link?

There might also be some clue in how they named their children. eg I think they had a daughter in 1838 named Ann (?) she could be named after either Benjamin or Elizas mother?

Moira, Thank you once again :-)

I did find a baptism for Benjamin (the one you mention) but I couldn't tie in Jacob in any census, now I know why. Thanks again.
