Good morning all, I've just received some interesting material about early Goffs in Bozeat, Northamptonshire. from the Northamptonshire Session Rolls 1314-16 (Court returns): "Henry of Killingworth, William, son of Peter Goss {old English ss + ff) of Boseyate. William at the Mill of Cropredy in the county of Oxfordshire who at tanother time before the coroner acknowledged themselves to be thieves and common felons and became approvers, now come and withdrew from their appeal etc. Therefore let them be hanged etc. No chatels etc. My writing in italics When I see the original I will get a full translation. So, there was a Peter Goff living in Bozeat in the 14th. century. There is a big gap then until several mentions of my gt .....grandfather Thomas Goff who owned a few small properties which appear on the Enclosure Map of 1799, who also lost some property in the Great Fire of Bozeat in 1729 Incidentally, a local man has just published at his own expense a book on the history of Bozeat which may be of interest: 'Bozeat 2000' by Philip Bligh, published by W.D.Wharton of Wellingborough in Northants email [email protected] I cannot comment much on the book yet as my good lady swiped it and wrapped it in gaudy paper so I'll have to wait a few days, but it is a heavy paperback of over 450 pages costing about £20 + p&p, and densley filled with material. Has anyone else found any Northamptonshire Goffs yet? Season's greetings to all, Chris Norfolk UK
