Gofton of Monkseaton Tynemouth, anywhere in Northumberland

[csjjpm]

Hi everyone,
One of my family trees is the Gofton family in Northumberland.

My great grandfather Thomas Dutton Gofton was born 1884 in Tynemouth.  I have him on a census in 1911 living with Thomas Thompson Gofton as a lodger in Liverpool but I think they were related, either uncle or cousin.

Thomas Thompson Gofton (1873ish) is related to Richard Alder Gofton (1841ish), son and father.  Thomas Thompson Gofton's birthplace is New Brunswick in Canada.  I have him and Richard Alder Gofton on a uk census in 1881 in Northumberland and then again in a uk census in 1891.

I am unable to identify Thomas Dutton's father.  He could have been called John Gofton and was married to Jane Anne Kay.

I would love to hear from anyone also looking for Goftons.

Hi Paul

I am not researching Goftons but have you seen the 1891 census?

There is a Thomas Dutton Gofton staying with grandfather Thomas Thompson. There is a son in law Robert Goften who is a widower. The reference number is

RG12; Piece: 4230; Folio 119; Page 18

Could he be your Thomas Dutton?

Hi

It looks like Robert and Richard Alder Gofton were brothers. On the 1851 census on Ancestry there has been a transcription correction by a person although they do not state their interest

Evie,
  thank you that is great.  I am a bit of a novice so I am not so adept at joining them up at the moment.
They definitely look like father and son.  Using familysearch how do I specify a folio?
Thanks

Okay 1891 isnt on familysearch yet.  I do have some credits on ancestry, I'll have a look there.
Thanks

Evie,
  sorry I cannot find the record.  I am using thegenealogist.co.uk and I've searched for Thomas Thompson.  The RGs are all RG11 and the Pieces are all in the 5000s.
  Any ideas?
Thanks
Paul

Evie,
  I have found Richard Alder Gofton with his wife and children , Thomas Thompson Gofton being one but I cannot find Robert Gofton living with father in law Thomas Thompson.
