Kent Lookup Requests / Re: John GOBLE, Kent - birth or marriage please
« on: Friday 20 May 11 23:39 BST (UK)  »
How wonderful to have  contact with you, thank you. My GGGrandfather was James Goble -1829/1887, John's (circa 1789) youngest son, I think Amelia was the last sibling before James whilst William was the first born.

My line is John the confectioner, his son James and wife Caroline Harris - c:1827/28 and died in Adelaide in 1918 aged 91 years - They arrived here in Australia when Elizabeth, their first child, was 7 months old, on the ship "Epaminondas".
Elizabeth Caroline married George Babstock- of South Australia and had one child, Harry. Elizabeth then married Carl Alfred Dau of South Australia and had 4 children that survived more than 12 months. Her youngest daughter Edith Myrtle married Peter Clarn of London, they had only one child, my mother Shirley Myrtle who married Cyril Douglas Rosenhain of South Australia.

I am really keen to get anything to further my research, especially as where John came from and what was his wife's surname? Anything else is a bonus, thanks again.

regards,
Pam

PS: I've just re-read your reply and realise your Amelia is a different one to James' sister as she was  born circa: 1827.

Thank you Welsh Lady, that's great but did the info give a surname
for Elizabeth - other than the one Holmes?

I have no reason to believe that she went by her second name and
rather than guess, I will take your advice and just store this piece of
information for the future.

Thanks again,

Blimey! You guys are wonderful...thank you so much.

I'm still learning how - and where to look, but you
amazing people make it look easy.

Thanks again for your time and effort; now if we can
only find him before the 1841 census, or his marriage,
birth/christening etc, as I still want to know his parents
or other ancestors.

Thanks, P x

Thank you Lizdb for responding - I have the information from another family
member and what I have managed to find myself. John Goble's children were
all born in Kent, and the eldest child of his that I can find was William, born in
1820, Northgate Kent.

Thanks,
Pam

Kent Lookup Requests / John GOBLE, Kent - birth or marriage please
« on: Thursday 02 September 10 04:38 BST (UK)  »
Can someone please help me find the ancestors of John GOBLE born C 1785 probably Canterbury, Kent. Even a birth record, marriage, amything please.

My GGGrandfather was James Goble. His parents were JOHN GOBLE c: 1785 and Elizabeth unknown (possibly Collins) and he was the youngest of 7 children, all born in Kent.

James was born 1827, and died in South Australia in 1887. (He married Caroline Harris, also born in in Caterbury, Kent in 1852)

James, his wife Caroline and baby Elizabeth sailed to South Australia when Elizabeth was 7 months old, (late 1853) on the ship SS "Epaminondas".
Elizabeth Catherine GOBLE was the eldest of 11 children and the only one born in Kent, the others were all born and died in South Australia.

thanks for taking a look at this for me.

Thank you Dara, that's what I'm trying to do but it's tricky from OZ.

When I am in London and can go to the National Archives in Kew I make way more progress but sadly, it's a lot harder from this part of the world than over there..

Thanks again for your advice.

Kent Lookup Requests / Re: James Goble c: 1827- help please
« on: Wednesday 25 August 10 08:35 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for the question, they do help to get one's thoughts in order.
Fact:
1. James born Canterbury, Kent, 1829
2. died in South Australia on November 16th, 1887, I have no death certificate but a relative does.
3. I have no marriage certificate but another relative does. she says John Goble listed as James' father but no father listed for his wife Elizabeth.
4. My relative has given me the names and birth years for James' older siblings.
5. I have him on both the 1841 and 1851 Census, still in Canterbury Kent

Thanks again.
