    1. [CUL-COP] GOULDING in the 1861 Census, Cockermouth

    3. Hi, Listers, I found William and Isabella GOULDING and family in the 1851 census living in Brewery Yard in Cockermouth but I could not find them at all in the 1861 census and thought they had either moved or been missed by the census taker. I've now received the death certificate for Isabella who died at Brewery Yard on November 8, 1870 so that implies they still lived there when the 1861 census was taken. Referring to the notes I took when scanning the 1861 census, the only Goulding I recorded in Cockermouth was a Peter Goulding on Derwent Street. By the time of the 1871 census, five months after his wife's death, William had moved to Kirkgate with his two youngest children, Margaret and John. If anyone has any records of the residents of Brewery Yard in 1861 that might show I just missed them (easy to do with microfiche!), I would appreciate it. Depending upon when the older children left home, an entry might also show Esther, Henry, William and Margaret still living with their parents. I know it was quite common for people to be missed by census takers but if any of you have any thoughts or suggestions for me, I would welcome them.
