Hi everyone! I am trying to find a Robert GOUGH in the 1861 and 1851 census. In 1871, he was 22yrs old and married to Matilda ASHTON, living in Bristol Road, St Thomas Birmingham. He said he was born Middlesex London and was a purse and pocket book manufacturer in later census. His age and place of birth were consistent in each census and he had moved to Latimer Street by 1881 with a new wife, Alice FENNEY. On 17 May 1865, he married Matilda ASHTON at the Register Office Birmingham. He was 19yrs old and a Bridle Maker, living at 103 Bell Barn Road Birmingham. His father was a William GOUGH, a Gardener (deceased). Matilda ASHTON was living at Nelson Street South Birmingham when she married and her father was Samuel ASHTON, a Basket Maker. I have been able to follow Samuel ASHTON's family in the census, but I have not been able to identify Robert GOUGH in census before 1871. Witnesses at the 1865 marriage : Charles Williams CLARKE and Sarah WHITE Can anyone help me find Robert GOUGH please? His grandaughter said that an ancestor was a Mayor of LONDON, but there are no GOUGH names on the List of Mayors. Thanks very much, Judy Jones -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
