Trying to find Alfred Gooch born in Colchester-Essex

the son of Alfred Gooch born June 1865 Islington

Anyone with info.

Many thanks
Marge

Hi Margery. I am not connected but had a look for you.
Not sure what info you have but hope some of this is new to you.

1901 census. Camberwell.London.
Louisa. widow. 47. 1854. Born Rochester. Liv.Camberwell
Annie J. 18. 1833. Dau. Born Colchester.
Alfred 14. 1887. Son. Born Colchester. Oil Shop asst.

Birth of Annie Janet Gooch. 1882. April/June Qtr. reg in Colchester. vol 4a 437. If this is the correct Annie, then her birth certificate will show both her parents names and Mothers maiden name.
This should help in trying to trace the marriage of her parents for sure.

I have managed to find one, but the dates are wrong. Alfred to Louisa Knight. 1887 July/Sept. Qtr. reg in Lewisham. vol 1d 1526. Very long shot.

1891. Lambeth
Louisa. 37 Widow. Laundress. Born Rochester.
Alfred 4..

also
1891.29 Vineyard Place. Colchester.
Samuel Gooch. 54. Gen Lab. Born Gt Bromley.Essex.
Mary. 54.
Elizabeth. 23. Tailoress. Born Colchester.
Arthur. 14. Born Colchester.
ANNIE 9. Niece. Born Colchester.

1881
Samuel and his family.

I have tried to get back with Samuel's family to find a brother Alfred but cannot get to him except where he is married.
He is on 1861, 1871, and 1881 with wife Mary and family.Cannot get him before marriage.

1851. Long Shot. needs work on this.

Daniel Gooch 49. Gen Lab. Born Gt Bromley
Sarah. 47.
Samuel. ??14 or 16. Not sure.Ag Lab. shown as born Wix.

This may have no connection at all but worth having on hand.

See what you think. If we can find the marriage then we should be able to find out who his Father was, and be able to tell if Samuel was his Brother.Ethel.

Hi Ethel

Hi - Alfred Gooch born May 1893 at Islington London
I have located an Alfred Gooch in the 1911 Census which
may fit his description - he was a seaman - but not sure
where to go from here - any help finding this person would
be just great.
Thanks a million

Of course, Alfred may have emigrated. Also there was an Alfred born the following year also in the London area so he may have been the one that you found on the 1911 census?
