John Semmens & Rebecca Gouch in Goldhanger

[pjaj]

Rather than post here I am trying to follow up the possible cousin marriage mentioned by AMBLY above.

See : http://genforum.genealogy.com/semmens/messages/10.html

I'll report back if I get any replies.

thanks v. much. This is fantastic. I am speaking with my mother as  I type this  (badly) much to correct and pass on it is now 23.00h gmt but we are very pleased with this development. Can I offer you my personal email address to continue this line of discussion?

Hallo,
my wife is related to Taylor, Semmens, & Gooch (not Gouch) going back to Goldhangar.I have researched quite a bit for some years now but I'm a bit rusty on it now as I've been chasing up the Taylor line.My wife's great grandmother was Ruth Maud Semmens who married John Thomas Taylor & later Robert Missen.I've chased the Semmens line back to James Semmens b abt 1802 d 8 Jan 1871.The Gooch side I've got back to James Gooch b abt 1781 & wife Rebecca Gooch b abt 1786 d 23 Apr 1865.You're welcome to any info I have.

have just joined this site

I have info from a Martin Semmns b 1844 descendant that his father married Mary Ann Johnson in 1822 at Tolleshunt Major. His second wife who was a widow at the time of marriage was Mary Ann Shepherd b. abt 1806 Tolleshunt D'Arcy

Here is the concatenation of all our work so far.
Prior to generating them I privatised the data so that dates for living persons are only shown as "Private".
There are 2 files generated from Family Tree Maker.

A GEDCOM file containing all the descendants of both James Gooch and Samuel James Semmens (about 220 individuals)
A genealogy report for Samuel James Semmens listing all known descendants.

If anyone would like any of these reports in different formats or arranged differently please let me know.

And here is a genealogy report for James Gooch listing descendants for 3 generations only. At this point the report becomes identical to the Semmens one.

I'm appending this separately as this site does not allow me to attach more than 2 files per post.

Thanks Peter, got those OK.I'll print them out & look through.I've attached a file ,Perry (pdf)as this is what my main tree is under.I haven't exported files before so if you don't get it OK maybe you could advise meas to the correct way, Les.

IMPORTANT CORRECTION

James Gooch b 1806 marries Mary Kingsbury
Joseph Kingsbury b 1808 married Mary Jordan b 1802

Both Mary Kingsbury and Joseph Kingsbury died before 17/8/1845

James Gooch then married Mary Jordan on 17/8/1845

The 2 Kingsburies may have been brother and sister or cousins - this is to be confirmed if possible.

James Gooch in the file attached to my previous post was NOT married to Rebecca Cockley, that was his Father b 1781

I have attached a revised set of genealogy reports (concatenated into one file) which show the correct (as far as I know  ) relationships and some further persons and generations I have been able to track down on the IGI site.

I am grateful to Les Kirkden for providing the correct information and pointing out the error.

Peter.

For anyone who is interested in the Semmens family from Goldhanger and I have not already contacted, I have concatenated most of the research from this site and others into a web site at
