William and Sarah may have had more than 3 children. The 1851 census shows another son John. I think Sarah might have died in 1845. Not all the Goachers originated in Sussex. The name seems to have developed independently in different parts of the country - at least three likely separate 'points of origin' have been found. If I can help with any further enquiries do please contact me off list. I have a very large database of Goacher and variants information.
