Richard Gough - Mainstone 1779 - 1788
« on: Friday 21 December 07 13:20 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to nail down who my 4xG grandfather married. According to IGI she is Ann but the question is Ann what? 

Richard is Richard Drope Gough b1754 in Souldern Oxfordshire d1818 aged 64 and is buried in St Mary's Souldern.

Also buried in St Mary's Souldern is another Richard Drope Gough b1780/1 d1839 aged 58 - I have no proof (yet) that this RDG is the son of the above. (This was from fhonline)

Richard and Ann according to a 3initial site had 10 children all baptised in Souldern starting in 1783 with Mary and finishing with Louisa in 1799. Sometimes he (the father) is R D Gough and sometimes he is Richard or variations.

However Richard the child doesn't seem to appear at Souldern but there is a Richard Gough baptised on 1/10/1780 in Mainstone Shropshire with parents Richard and Ann.

This timing would fit with the marriage of Ann Meyrick and Richard Gough on 26/4/1779 in Mainstone Shropshire (again 3 initials).

However the waters then become a bit muddy as there are further baptisms in Mainstone with Richard and Ann as parents starting with another Richard in 1788 and ending with Thomas in 1800.

I suppose after this long ramble everybody is thoroughly confused  Undecided but what i'm really trying to ask is how can I confirm or dismiss Ann Meyrick as being my 4x G grandmother?

In the Mainstone records is the Richard Gough who was baptised on 1/10/1780 buried before 1788?

Or does the marriage record for Ann Meyrick on 26/4/1779 give Richard's middle name or where he was from?

Hope somebody can help. 
Many thanks
Cyril

Hi Cyril - me again   Smiley

I don't think the Richard Goughs in Shropshire are yours,  I have just had a look at some of the index entries on A2A and it clearly gives Richard Drope Gough the elder as the only son of Drope Gough.  Richard D G the elder married Ann Lyndon of Southam Warwickshire,  further entries mention Richard Drope Gough the younger as 'the eldest son' of Richard Drope Gough and Ann (nee Lyndon),  the younger Richard is also married to an Ann - whose maiden name I havn't found yet.  Is this any help?

Hi Debbie

You are a marvel - I had on a scrap of paper Ann Lyndon of Southam but was seduced by the baptism of Richard in Shropshire so I discarded her!  It would make more sense as Southam is much closer to Souldern than Shropshire!  That is not to say that people didn't move around in those days but.........

I've PM you about my visit to Banbury.
