I have an ongoing brick wall with my maternal family tree due to the number of Goulds in London! I would be grateful for some help in unravelling this tangled web. Thank you. My mother's father was JOHN GOULD - born 1881; he married Ellen Finney in 1903. On that Marriage Cert I have his father's name : CHARLES GOULD (dec'd) born in 1853 - he marries Sophia Wells in 1876. From that Marriage Cert, Charles's father was William GOULD. I cannot find a birth for him the problem being that there are so many William Goulds who fit the bill. I know he married Jane Napper in 1847 at St Leonards, Shoreditch. Could he be William - born in Lambeth, or Brixton or Southwark etc.. There are so many. Any help gratefully received. Thank you Jackie
If all else fails you could try one of your Gould male lines for a ydna test Jackie. You never know.
