My Gotobed relative was in the Cambridge area, not too far from Norfolk.
Would be interested in a few details to see if we link up!

Thats no problem! I see you are researching GILCHRIST! My mums brother is married to a Westbrook, her mum was a Peggy Milton (deceased) Peggys Mums name was Rose Mabel Gilchriest B. Jun 1874.
Roses dads name was George Gilchrist B.1828, so it appears we may have something in common too!

I was a Gotobed before I married..A few of our family actually had the name changed by deed poll as it was so disliked, I come from March in Cambridgeshire so not far away...looking back I think it a bit of a shame as it is an unusual name, at the time I was overjoyed as it lead to a lot of bullying etc at school.
I am sorry to hear that but I and my children had the same problem at school, which is why they now go under the former part of the double barrelled surname, rather than the latter.
Children will however always find something that they can pick on you for and what was a hindrance in my youth has turned out to be a good (or bad) thing in my mid years (I am now 42, 43 in Feb!)
It gets you remembered, and you rarely have to tell people your name more than once.

Thanks Lizzie, An intriguing surname. What's the name of the magazine please?
I came across this article purely by accident while doing a google search for "Gotobed" I am going to hazard a rough guess that the lady above lives in Chineham, and the Name of the Magazine is the "Chineham Chat"
 I say this because my name Is Charles Mott-Gotobed and I am thinking that she is referring to my Mother Janet Mott-Gotobed! (Please note that permission to list her here has been given)
I am currently working on our family tree and keep a local ish copy on my web site at http://mott-gotobeds.info/genealogy/index.php which is fairly accurate back to at least William Crabb-Gotobed in Ely, Littleport Cambridge. The line goes back to Tobias Gotobed circa 1600 ish. its a difficult family to research as so many of them had the same name at the same time in the same areas!
Regards, Chas Mott
