Please forgive me if I have posted on the wrong board.
Great Grandfather Charles Gouch (born Norfolk) married Susan G. (we think Robertson). Susan was born in Peterhead in approximately 1825. We can only surmise her surname was Robertson because this was the middle name given to her sons.
We havent been able to trace her marriage to Charles Gouch, although their first son was born at North Shields, Northumberland (another fishing port) in June 1850.
Would be extremely grateful if anyone can find information regarding Susan on Scottish Census. If it helps her children were called John Joseph; Mary Jane; James Robertson Goauch/ George Robertson Gouch; Sarah Ann and Maria.
Looking forward to your response.
Thank you.
Linda

Hi, Many thanks for responding. It was a later census which indicated her birth place as Peterhead. I've only just realized that if I send away for John Joseph' birth certificate it should give her maiden name. Must be tired or I would have thought of that one ages ago. However, I still think its Robertson because it doesnt feature in any of the Gouch names.

CaroleW - Many, many thanks for that detail for Sarah Ann and Maria. You must have struck lucky with the LDS because whenever I have tried its never been the week for the "Gs".
Happy hunting.

Hello Monica, wow that was a blast of hope. Unfortunately Charles and Susan's eldest son John Joseph Gouch was born during the June quarter of 1850. A couple of quarters before this marriage. It did look very promising though.
Thank you for taking the time to look.
Kind regards
Linda

Update: Birth Certificate for one of Charles and Susan's children (George) came this morning. George was born near South Shields and his mother is listed as Susan Gouch formerly ROBINSON.
Still having no luck finding either Charles and Susan's marriage. A later Census said that Susan was born at Peterhead, Scotland approx 1825.
Wondered if anyone can please help.

I have checked the Scottish 1841 for Susan Robinson but none match her profile
I cannot find an English marriage between 1841-1851 so wonder if they may have married in Scotland

I looked again at this earlier. The only only possibility I am seeing is a SARAH Robertson in North Shields with family, she is not with the family by 1851:
1841: HO107; Piece 825; Book: 9;
1851: HO107; Piece: 2409; Folio: 346;
This family shows as born in Peterhead, Aberdeen in the 1851 census.
What worries me though is that Sarah is not a variant of Susan that I am aware of  Still not seeing a possible marriage with a first name Sarah though.

Hi Monica
There is no marriage entry for a Charles Gouch between 1841-1851 either. I had hoped if I found one - there would be an uneven number of males to females which would solve the problem.
I did find this 1841 entry though for Yorkshire but cannot find them on the 1851 at the moment
Charles Gouch 20 ag lab not b in county
Mary 20 b in county
Elizabeth 3mths b in county

A few possible christenings for them on IGI:
1. ELIZABETH GOUCH Christening: 07 MAR 1841 Braithwell, Yorkshire
2. JOHN GOUCH Christening: 29 JAN 1843 Braithwell, Yorkshire
3. MARY ANN GOUCH Christening: 10 MAY 1846 St Peter, Brighton, Sussex..a maybe because of the change of location

Hi Linda
I think the person you are looking for is Susan Gordon Robertson who was baptised on 23rd April 1826 in Peterhead. Her father was Joseph Robertson, a carpenter. Witnesses at the baptism were Joseph and William Robertson.
It seems very likely that Susan's mother was Mary Ogston who married Joseph Robertson, a carpenter on 23rd December 1821 in Peterhead.
Susan had brothers: Joseph - baptised 2nd October 1822 in Peterhead
John Ogston - baptised 24th June 1824 in Aberdeen
James - baptised ? born about 1828
Frederick - baptised ? born about 1830
George - baptised 1832 in Arbroath.
In 1822 and 1824 Susan's father was described as a carpenter but by1832 he was a coastguard.
In the 1841 Census, when the family are living in Milbourne Place in North Shields it looks like mother Mary is described as "sailor's wife" (husband Joseph is not at home).
It's a mystery as to why Susan has been recorded as Sarah in 1841 but it may just be an error by the recorder.
Further evidence to link Susan to this family is that in 1873 her brother Frederick named his 2nd daughter Susan Gordon Robertson.
