The Goodliffe Family of Nottingham

The Story of My Life - The original, handwritten version of the Memoirs of Arnold Goodliffe

Page 11

my paternal ancestors, I turn to the maternal side, and I regret not having a more thorough and far reaching account, especially on the Arnold side the one I should now prize more than any. I have no items on my grandfather John Arnold’s side that goes back beyond him, that can be relied upon. From conversations with my Mother I gathered that her father was a native of Leicester, of a highly respected family, whose brothers, one of whom was a celebrated Doctor of Lunacy at Leicester, and another an M.D. at Stamford. I gathered also that her father John Arnold became a Baptist, and in his young days was a member at Leicester which was confirmed by a note I read the other day in an old history about the Baptists at Friar Lane of which John Arnold was an important member.
