It would appear Penelope GOULDING's family are worth looking into.


Just for interest, Penelope Goulding COKE was the daughter of Joseph and Penelope SMITH (nee GOULDING). Here is her memoir available to read on archive.org.

She was married to Thomas COKE ("Dr Coke, the Breconshire Apostle of Weslyan Missions").

Excerpt:
"Mrs. Coke's mother, whose maiden name was Goulding, was of a remarkably delicate constitution. She was esteemed peculiarly handsome in her early years; but she suffered many bodily afflictions, which rendered her a subject of complicated infirmities through a considerable portion of her life. She died at last of a dropsy, when she had attained about the fiftieth year of her age. The peculiar delicacy of her constitution, and the complicated infirmities under which she laboured, were considerable. These severe-trials to her patience frequently gave a tinge of moroseness to her expressions, which occasionally spread a gloom over the family, that would otherwise, in all probability, have worn a perpetual smile. By nature she was of a reserved temper, which was frequently mistaken for haughtiness; and the occasional complaints which bodily indispositions extorted from her, gave a confirmation to the opinion which was entertained. "
