Hermena Joseph Goodwin – also known as Winifred or Winnie – was born on December 28 1920 as told to her by her mother. However, her birth was officially recorded as January 10 1921 based on the date given by the midwife. In those days most children were born at home and the birth would not have been recorded until the midwife came through the area.
Goodwin was born on the historic Betty’s Hope Estate to Clementina Benjamin and Edward Joseph. She was the last of four children for her mother and the first of seven for her father. She attended All Saints School from the age of five.
