headstone photo located trying to establish why/who/where!
« on: Monday 27 April 15 12:41 BST (UK) »
I've come across a photo of a headstone amongst family photos but have no idea if or how it's connected or even where it is located.

The headstone reads
Charles Edward Gooch
died at Kolendo
24th Nov 1909 aged 43 years.

Suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Lilygirl.

 shows a birth in 1866 for a Charles Edward Gooch, parents Douglas Gooch and Mary London/Loudon.  Perhaps the latter's family is your connection?

mother's death 1915, lists a lot of kids:
