sure why Nathaniel would have left for Australia... very interested in knowing if you have had contact with Andrew Gold b.1924 as I have some unsolved family mysteries (pre 1800’s)  which I am trying to solve... perhaps Andrew holds the key?
Hi Arthur
I have been researching the David Just Gold family history over the last 6-7 years on and off - mostly off - but I have traced some lines back to the early 1800s.  I do have some info on the Nathaniel side and will have a look in my records re Effie et al.  You and Allan have galvanised me to start again as I'd got rather stuck with Andrew & Isabella Morton. Will have a look this weekend to see what I have that may be new to you.

Glad to here that Andrew Gold is still alive in England. Difficult to trace living relatives. Do you have a better photo of Nathaniel than the one I have, so if you have contact, could you try for a photo for me?

I think I can help with a photo that was passed to me by a direct relative of Nathaniel who still lives in Scotland.  I will look it out.  Andrew is now 86.  He has often talked about Nathaniel as having the first car in Carluke but I doubt he would have seen this for himself as he was only 3 or so when Nathaniel emigrated. 

Andrew was from what seems to have been the disinherited side of the family (having seen Andrew Gold senior's will c. 1898).  I know not why but I have wondered about his father's divorce which would have been scandalous at the time

Thanks for the info - all good stuff and has filled in some gaps. Will root out the photo and attach. VJ

David Just Gold's second marriage produced another two children. Jessie Marshall was born in 1921 and John Pettigrew had a twin brother Andrew born in 1924. Unfortunately, both twins died in 1927 but I have no details. I found a poem in January 1927 dedicated to her sons by Grace...Will try fo the photo of Westfield soon.

Hi, I've just seen your thread about Nathaniel Gold.  I am also researching the family and can confirm that Andrew Gold twin of John (known as Jackie) Gold is still living in England.  However Jessie his sister died in the 1950s in a car accident in South Africa where she was living and David Gold died perhaps 10 years ago - he was still living in Carluke.  The poem you refer to was written to celebrate the twins - their mother was a bit of a local poet and wrote often in the local papers and for the temperance movement I believe and I have transcripts of some of her work. 

I would be interested to hear more about what happened to Nathaniel - and why he went to Australia. I would also be interested in the photo of Westfield as Andrew's first job was emptying the gas meter at his uncle's house!
Hope to hear from you.
