    3. John, I have submitted an edit request to have the date of death on Find a Grave given as that in the newspaper report - 30 September 1884, instead of the 1884 that it shows now.

    3. Thank you all very much. The evidence that this burial is of James Toogood, not Doogood, is compelling. This is not the first time this has happened! Toogood is not that common a surname, but it crops up sufficiently often to cause a problem. Sometimes it happens the other way round, too (or perhaps doo?). My mind is set at ease. John.

    3. You could try requesting a photo on findagrave (request button is on the person's page). There is quite a community of folk willing to go off and search for a grave and take a photo for you, though its a bit variable how long it might take before someone does pick up the request.

    3. John, From Welsh Newspapers Online: Aberystwith Observer 4 Oct 1884: TREGARON. j INQUEST.�An inquest was, held on October 2nd, at the Red Lion Inn, Tregaron, on the body of James /Toogood/, a travelling hawker, before Dr John Row- lands, coroner, Garth, and a jury, the foreman of which was Mr John Dewi Williams, clerk to the guardians. The first witness was Anne Selina /Toogood/, who said I am the daughter of deceased. I remember the 26Lh of September, we travelled with the van from Pontrhydfendigaid to Tregaron, and about midway father was walking alongside the horse; he turned and looked back to see if we were coming (meaning the two vans which were coming after him) and one of the wheels caught him. When I saw that I ran to the horse's head and backed him till he was extricated from the wheel. I found that he had a large cut on the left leg. We put him in the van, and drove as fast as we could to Tregaron, and fetched a doctor in to see him. Dr Lloyd said I am a qualified surgeon, living at Tregaron. About nine o'clock on the 26th ult I was called to the Red Lion to see the deceased, and I found that he had a large wound on the left leg, which I dressed in the usual way. I saw the deceased twice daily from that day up to his death on the 30th. In answer to the coroner, Dr Lloyd said his opinion was that he died from the gangrene of the leg. Dr Lloyd swore also to the identification of the body. The jury returned a verdict that he died from the effects of an accident received on the 26th September, according to medical evidence."

    3. John, the death won't be registered in Wrexham. The Wrexham on-line cemeteries gives the place of death as Cardiganshire - in South West Wales. It doesn't really help you as there is no James Doogood death anywhere in England and Wales in the appropriate quarter. It migh be worth contacting Cardigan register office to see if they can help.

    3. Wrexham Online Cemetery give place as Death as Cardiganshire and Date of Burial as 4/10/1884. There is a James TOOGOOD, Death Reg Q4 1884 - Tregaron - Vol 11b - p 55. Aged 57. Tregaron RD is in Cardiganshire, so prsume this is probably the correct Death. Whether he should be TOOGOOD or DOOGOOD, don't know without checking records.

    3. Hi John, I was thinking that as well. Maybe James was a travelling man/gypsy who used many surnames, just happened to die in Wrexham and the authorities had to ask if anyone knew his name and someone said it could be Doogood. Better than burying an unknown body. Maybe there was a Police appeal in a local newspaper for knowledge of him. Perhaps the cemetery itself has more information but better to get someone to visit with the grave number or telephone it's Superintendant? From Merryl Wells of Luton, Beds.

    1. [G] James Doogood, buried Wrexham 1884
    2. John Hill
    3. I followed the link to Find a Grave and did a worldwide search for DOOGOOD, my ONS surname. I got three, which is a pretty good haul (Doogoods are almost as rare as hens' teeth). I already had two of them, but the third puzzles me. Here is what the site says: James Doogood Birth: unknown Death: 1884 Note: Age-57; Burial Date - 10/4/1884 Burial: Wrexham Cemetery Wrexham Wrexham, Wales Plot: Grave No. -2586 Created by: Cyndi Record added: Aug 06, 2014 Find A Grave Memorial# 133963792 So he would have been born around 1827. My problem is that he is completely unknown to me! I have no Doogoods born or baptised between 1825 and 1830, and the censuses do not contain any such Doogood. There is no James Doogood death registration on FreeBMD between 1880 and 1890 or on the GRO website between 1882 or 1886. FindMyPast gives the same grave entry, but refers me back to Find a Grave :-( So does FamilySearch. I don’t have access to Ancestry. I cannot find a James ??? whose death was registered in the Wrexham registration district in the first two quarters of 1884 and whose surname could be interpreted as Doogood. So who is he? I know it’s a long shot, but I wondered if any fellow GOON who lived in or near Wrexham may be able to check this gentleman out? I would love to add another to my collection, much as I would hate to discover I’d missed one! John Hill.

    3. All OK I have now completed the information for Ancestry Findmypast and the Genealogist. For the first two there are links to the marriage search from there links exist to the other parish datasets that they have. With the Genealogist I have placed a link to the parish listing for the county. I can't seem to find a way to search just a county. If anyone is an expert on the site please let me know and I will make the changes. I have added another column for FamilySearch but that will take time to populate it. Happy to keep the page up to date when it is complete as I get the details from all the site regularly anyway Regards John Hanson, researcher, the Halsted Trust, <http://www.halstedresearch.org.uk/> http://www.halstedresearch.org.uk New family history conference in 2018 <http://www.secretlives.org.uk/> http://www.secretlives.org.uk
