Colonel Charles GOLD, CB - his Obituary 1842, says he had 3 sons - all serving officers in the Army. He died in Leamington, also.
You can track his progress thru the Ranks (purchasing of commissions etc) here:
http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/Incl that in 1790 he went from: Gentleman Cadet to 2nd Lt. He sold his Commission in 1827.
I think he had 5 children (at least) - the 3 sons mentioned in his Obit, plus 2 daughters:
The following children were all baptised in the same church - St Mary Magdalen, Woolwich Kent, to parents: Charles GOLD and Ann
William George GOLD 1801, 7th March
Mary Ann GOLD 1803, 4 May
Charlotte GOLD 1805, 3 Jun
Henry Yarburgh GOLD 1806, 2 Sep
(Nothing for Charles Emelius GOLD, but his birth is given as 6 Jan 1809 on various sites).
Charlotte GOLD died 1841, age 35, buried March 6th, Leamington Priors, Warwickshire.
Leamington is where Charles GOLD, Colonel in the Army, age 70, is in 1841, with Mary Ann GOLD age 30 (b 1811), Independent, and both appear to be in the household of Lodging House Keeper Elizabeth BATE age 53. Note the 1841 ages were rounded down to the nearest 5 years (or meant to be) therefore Charles could be closer to 75 and Mary Ann 35 (or 38! ) - this is born out by the burials of Charles & Mary Ann:
Charles GOLD age 73, (b abt 1769)
buried in Leamington Priors 25th April 1842
Mary Ann GOLD age 40 (b abt 1803)
buried in Leamington Priors 23 March 1843
The 3rd son (actually the eldest) William George GOLD died 1868 in Wales. His wife was Elizabeth Mary NAYLOR, b abt 1811 Harford, Cheshire, she died 27 March 1872, also at their home, Garthmyl Hall, Montgomery. Her brother John NAYLOR Esq, of Montgomery proved her Will. Various sources say they marred 1832.
http://www.leightonnews.com/2013/the-history-of-the-naylor-family-of-leighton-hall/John Naylor also looked after his sister Elisabeth Mary, building Garthmyl Hall
(or rebuilding or adding onto?) for her and her husband, William George Gold, who became a Lieutenant General and Colonel of the 53rd Foot.
