Dear Dave, Thanks for that response. I am inclined to believe that the entry for the IGI record for his birth is a transcription error and that his mother is in fact Ann(e) Court a single parent. I believe that I have now located the father of both Henry and Herbert Goulden hiding in a remote part of sunny Yorkshire working as an Engine Driver from where he never returned to Kent after relocating there sometime in the 1840's until his death in 1886. Thanks again for your feedback.

Catherine, If the will itself gives no clues, the Bank of England will extracts (indexed at Origins.net) usually list a county of residence. In this case the index has Southampton. That may refer to the "county of Southampton" (Hampshire), and not necessarily to the town itself. You could try posting to the Hampshire list. You could also see if someone can check the new edition of the National Burial Index (NBI 3), just in case he has made it onto that? Do be aware though that he may not have been buried close to where he lived and died, as there may have been a family plot elsewhere. HTH Judy London, UK -----Original Message----- From: london-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:london-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of PlowdenC@aol.com I'm searching for the death of my ancestor General Frederick George MULCASTER (Royal Engineers). He died 18 August 1797 (as quoted in London Gazette) - I have his Will but no note of his address - so don't know where he was buried or which parish register to look him up in. He was baptised at St James, Westminster, so may still have had a link with the area (he served overseas). I'm assuming he died in London. How could I try to locate his death/burial?

Hi everyone I'm searching for the death of my ancestor General Frederick George MULCASTER (Royal Engineers) in Kent, where he may have died in 1797. He died 18 August 1797 (as quoted in London Gazette) - I have his Will but no note of his address - so don't know where he was buried or which parish register to look him up in. He was baptised at St James, Westminster, but he did have links with Kent (his daughter Mary became Lady MONTRESOR of Ospringe House nr Faversham, she died in 1861). He could have died in Kent therefore. How could I try to locate his death/burial? I can't even find his death on ancestry or the IGI. Any info very welcome. Regards Catherine in Devon

Dear Listers, In the 1851 census for Whitstable I have an Edward Rouse Court aged 19 ? who is described as being the son of Ann Goulden.

I have tried to locate a marriage for Ann Court to ??? Goulden without any success to date. There is however on the IGI a marriage reported between a Henry Goulding and Anne Court submitted by a member of the LDS dated 1835 in Whitstable I have not been able to locate Edward Rouse Court in the 1861 census and the only other reference I have is from the IGI for an Edward Roust COURT b 1832 Newnham Kent to mother Amy (not Ann) Court.

Dear Karen, Thanks for your prompt response to that query. Henry Goulden was Herberts older brother. I have received a copy of the marriage cert for Herbert to Jane Harris which shows his father as being an Engineer called Henry Goulden but of course this does not show his mothers name. I am currently waiting to receive Herbert Thomas Gouldens birth cert from the GRO whch is recorded both in Free BMD and the GRO Index so I was surprised when I could not locate the same details for Henry William.. Presumably even though he may not have been baptised at Whitstable his records should still be in the GRO. Thanks again for that feedback Karen.

Dear Listers, I am trying to obtain the birth cert from the GRO for Henry William Goulden but I am having trouble obtaining a reference number. >From the various census entries I can determine that he was born in Whitstable (Blean) in 1842. However there is no record of an entry for him in Free BMD or from the Index pages listed in Find My Past. The nearest match that I can find is in Sep qtr 1842 for a Male Goulden in Blean. I thought that in order to register a birth a forename had to be given in addition to the surname but perhaps someone could clear that up for me. Other than this shot in the dark are there any other ways to locate the birth details for Henry William GOULDEN.? I have sent away for this cert to see what transpires and I am hoping that it shows Father Henry Goulden, occ Engine driver, mother Ann GOULDEN formerly Court If anyone has already been down this road I would be delighted to hear from you. Cheers Ian in Hong Kong.

Hello I have an extract from a newspaper dated January 13, 1852 which reports on a court case involving my ancestor MARY KEMSLEY. I now find, looking through the report, that I really need the full page and not just part of the page which I have kept. My problem is that I have held the copy for so long that I have forgotten which Library held this newspaper. The problem is made worse by the fact only part of the newspaper title is visible........which is ER, AND SOUTH EASTERN INTELLIGENCER, JANUARY 13, 1852. I dont by the way think it was obtained from the Local Studies at Strood. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Vera Lennard g3vps@tinyworld.co.uk

There are 5 deaths in FreeBMD from 1851 to 1861 for an Edward No-middle-name Court. One was in Canterbury, one Dover and one in Greenwich.
