Hi Nettex,

I'm afraid I have no recollection of the name Drinkwater from my time at Cotheridge.

I confirm there were only two inkpots.

Good luck with your search.

Hi Neil,

Thanks for that - although it was the news I wanted, I was sceptical (I have messaged Wes for clarity).

Yes, I'm also aware of Samuel's daughter Elizabeth. It was a statement that you made in your posting back in Nov '07, that gave me hope, that perhaps Wes might well have located  a non-recorded daughter. You said . . .

In fact there were 6 sons and 3 daughters born to Sir Edward Goodere (Goodier, Goodyere & variations) and Eleanor Dineley.

You didn't mention the girls' names - obviously Eleanor features in much text I have seen, but I just hoped one of the others might have been my Elizabeth   :)

Hi

I'm trying to trace my family history.
Our family bible has an inscription stating that we are descended from the Gooderes of Burghope, but, until now I have not been able to find a link.

The breakthrough came on a visit to the geni.com website - where someone called 'Wes' claims that the Goodere brothers John & Samuel had a sister called Elizabeth who married a chap called Thomas Spencer (born 1715 in Herefordshire). My Grandfather's name was William Spencer.

This Wes then actually goes on to provide the tree down as far as my mother.

My concern is that I'm not sure I can believe in the existence of this Elizabeth - as I have seen no evidence to back it up. Can anyone help me with that ?

Thanks
Jo

Hi Nettex,

I lived at Upper Howsen Farm from 1928-1951. My father owned the farm. He bought it when the Berkley Estate was disbanded (Cotheridge Court was part of the Berkley Estate - in fact it was their main residence). My father died in 1960 & the farm was sold.

The avenue & the ink pots belonged to my father as they were on the farm.

I can confirm that Bev666 has surmised correctly, the ink pots were originally lodge houses located either side of massive wrought iron gates to Cotheridge Court.
I can also confirm that their use was that one was to live in and the other to sleep in.

When the farm was sold, the avenue of trees was, tragically, felled & the ink pots fell into disrepair.
