S02EP03 - 'The Swindler' with Nathan Dylan Goodwin

The Family Histories Podcast

In this third episode, host Andrew Martin meets genealogical crime mystery author, Nathan Dylan Goodwin to find out how he got into family history, how he keeps his ancestral reality separate from his fantasy worlds of Morton Farrier, Mrs McDougall, and the Venator Cold Case Team, and we'll get some teasers from the brand new Morton Farrier book.
Relatively Speaking - Silas Thomas
Nathan has chosen his ancestor Silas Thomas, of Sussex, England, and it's an unusual story featuring an unusual metal find that ends up earning him a fortune before landing him in prison.
The Brick Wall - Thomas Goodwin
Awkwardly, it's his own Goodwin line that provides Nathan with his research brick wall, so it's over to the listeners to try to help him find his 4x Great Grandfather Thomas Goodwin, born circa 1781, married in 1800 in St. Martin in the Fields, Westminster, London, but Nathan needs to find out where he was born. His only clue is the scant detail of the 1841 census, that simply tells him it wasn't Sussex.
Can you help locate more information and bring this brick wall tumbling down? If you think you can help, head over to our show notes for ways to make contact.
Andrew offers Nathan some help in solving this mystery, but he'll have to tread carefully....
