If anybody out there has time and happens to be in Doncaster Archives or has access to this information somehow, I would be grateful for any help. I am looking for the baptism of William Goulden - his birth year is not precise, unfortunately, ranging in the census from 1792 to 1796. He gives his place of birth in the census as Cowick. I think his mother may have been called Elizabeth (but need the baptism record to check!). Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

i don't know how close this is to the area you are looking at
name; william goulden
christened on 21st jun 1796
place; thorganby,yorkshire
parents; john/elizabeth goulden.
ext.rec.IGI
do you know if he had any siblings if so what are their names
-
That was quick - and looks hopeful! Thank you. I'm not sure where Thorganby is (as I'm in North Wales), but will look up. He had, I think, brothers called John, Joseph and possibly also Isaac and George (not so sure about the latter two). I suspect his mother's maiden name may have been Dimaline (or a variant of that).
-
this one had brothers john and george and sisters mary and jane and ellen
maybe had more but i cannot see them
-
John and George sound hopeful (starting to sound like the Beatles!). Don't suppose any of them say the mother's maiden name??
-
no afraid not
-
the only marriage i could find was this
name; john goulden
spouse; elizabeth tasker
date; 25th march 1788
place; drax,yorkshire.
ext,rec,IGI
the birth of the first born in thorganby was john in 1792
so maybe this is the parents possibly
-
Thank you for this. Drax is near Snaith, so this definitely looks hopeful. I will need to do some more work to see how everybody might be connected. Life would be easier if every other woman was not called Elizabeth! Thanks again.
-
There is also a marriage of William Goulden to Elizabeth Dimaline 29 Dec 1791 at Snaith
-
That is definitely the one! I was beginning to think I was imagining the Dimaline name, having only found it once loosely linked to my Gouldens! Thank you so much. Is there any more information (e.g. their parents' names)? And do you have easy access to see if there are any baptisms of children to William and Elizabeth?
-
The information was taken from a marriage index which only has ths information I provided. I don't have access to the baptism and marriage registers for Snaith.

Not to worry, you have been very helpful anyway. Thanks again for your assistance with this.
