Shizara	Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2012 11:12 am The 1851 Census shows Joseph Goodyer, aged 19, an apprentice farrier, born in Bulkington, Warwickshire. He appeared to be an apprentice under Robert Pearce, farrier and was living at 68 High Street, West Bromich. The 1841 Census shows a Joseph Goodyer, aged 8, born c1833, Bulkington, Warwickshire.

I found 2 other by that name in the area, 1 was a weaver and the other a farrier. Does the book have a title? This one has me a bit flummoxed. Does the book state that Joseph Goodyer was a vet?

cathidaw	Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2012 1:27 am history of an old book. I have in my possesion an old veterinary book published around 1852. Very well used and has been repaired. The interesting thing about this book are the inscriptions in scrawled copper plate on some of the inside cover pages of recipes for ailments, which include the use of many herbs, dragons blood, turpentine ,antimony and many moreI've not heard of for years, (or perhaps only in witches brews.) The book belonged to a man, obviously the vet -- named Joseph Goodyer. I'd be interested to know more of this man , who would have been around in the 1850s. Goodyer is a quite common name in the Bedworth / Nuneeton area. I have in my possesion an old veterinary book published around 1852. Very well used and has been repaired.
