Shared note

Edith Johnson was born at 8 StThomas' Row, Tibshelf, Derbyshire on 24 October 1896, the second youngest of a family of 13. She was baptised 20 Dec 1896 at Tibshelf. She left school on 22 Oct 1909 (aged 13).
She was the sister of Tibshelf's internationally known chrysanthemum growers, the Johnson Brothers (Joseph and Thomas).
She married Wilfred Goodall at Tibshelf Parish Church on 27 Jan 1917.
In 1928, Wilfred emigrated to Canada, and 6 months later Edith followed with their children Cynthia, Muriel, Esme and Derek. They settled in the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia. Life in British Columbia was vastly different from the home they had left behind in Derbyshire. It was the depression era and work was scarce and setting up home in the Rockies meant building their own log cabin. Wilfred, Edith and children Muriel, Esme and Derek returned to England in 1935, arriving 23 December in Liverpool on the Duchess of Atholl. They then lived at Newton for a time until moving to Derby. Cynthia, the eldest daughter, who was married with small children, remained in Canada. From 1940-1986, Wilfred and Edith lived in Chaddesden, Derby, mainly at 40 Suffolk Avenue. She died in Shardlow, Derbyshire on 15 September 1984, and is buried at Nottingham Rd. Cemetery, Chaddesden, Derby.
At the time of her death only her brother Robert (1893-1985) was still alive.
Edith enjoyed dancing at the local social club up until 2 years prior to her death. She also used to spend some of her time writing poetry, especially of her love for her husband, family and her life.
