Archibald Spencer Goddard, Folkestone, circa 1905This image is taken from a group photo taken outside the family home in Folkestone, Kent some time after the turn of the century. Judging by the appearance of his siblings (especially Ralph Philip Hyde Goddard - my husband's maternal grandfather), Spen is about 18 or 19. He was the youngest of the eight Goddard children, five of whom survived into adulthood.
