Hi Lin,
I was wondering if you had come across Rebecca Angier Richardson in the research you have done so far. She was born in 1741 in Great Oakley, Essex, she married Thomas Turpin on 21.6.1757 in Kirby le Soken, Essex & she died in 1823 in Great Clacton, Essex. Any information or help would be fantastic.
Thank you in advance,
Shirley

Guess what! My GGGrandmother was also Elizabeth Leggett Gould, her son, Frederick Gould being my GGrandfather. He was a mariner and I attach a photo of him and one of his brother Joseph. In fact, until recent times my family has always been associated with the Little Clacton/Wivenhoe/Brightlingsea area. Whilst not a mariner, my Grandfather, Arthur Harlow, worked in the Wivenhoe shipyard for many of his earlier years and always had close contacts with fishing and sailing in the River Colne and associated coastal parts.
Like many families, in recent years we have moved away from the Essex area (to Cornwall) but I still have a strong affinity N E Essex. Might still move back that way!
Hi:
I'm descended from the Gould family. Joseph Gould/Gold was born in Messing in the 1700's. The family then moved to Little Clacton and Great Clacton. Several of the Goulds were carpenters/joiners. My gg grandmother, Elizabeth Leggett Gould, ran a beer house in Great Clacton during the 1800s.
My father was born in Dudley Rd. in Clacton-on-Sea, 1901. He was a master bricklayer.
During the 1800s, some of the Gould men were mariners. At least one of these men ended up moving to Harwich.
One my ancestors either lived at, or ran, the Roaring Donkey Pub in Holland.
The other names connected with Gould were Bareham and Butcher and possibly Lazelle.
I'm researching my ancestors and am very interested in the local history there even though I have moved to Canada (50 years ago).
Any sort of information, no matter how trivial, is of interest to me.
I'm glad to see someone is taking such an interest in this area.
Lady J

One of my ancestors was Joseph Allen, son of Samuel, from Great Clacton.
Joseph was born in 1823. Has anyone heard anything about those Allens?
I live in Australia, and am going to visit Colchester in September, just for a couple of days (no car sadly). Can anyone suggest where I might find some records?
Joseph joined the Army and was sent to India, where he married and had family. He never returned to Essex.
Any help would be most appreciated
