MESSAGES
WILLIAM GODDARD.. My grandmother (who is 94½ years of
age) has asked me to try to find any information about her favourite
uncle. William Goddard was on HMS Black Prince when it went down on
the 31st May 1916 at the Battle of Jutland. When the family
emigrated to Canada from England all photographs and letters were lost or
water damaged. Do you have any other contacts, links, or know how I
could obtain any photographs, a crew list or other information that have
reference to William Goddard that I could show Nanna? Please contact
me here .
