Abraham Gould and Andrew Mitchell

Tati-
Thanks for the info from 1841 on the Andrew Mitchell's. I will order a birth cert. for Andrew

As far as Abraham.............I know that most paperwork says that he was from Ashwick, Somerset but I was on the GenesReunited site and when I researched Abraham Gould, most results people had were an Abe. Gould from Devon.

Thanks again-
Jennie

Do the people who have Abe born Devon in their tree also have the children we have found? Otherwise I don't see any reason for thinking they are the same person

Hi Jennie

Ashwick is just a few miles from Chilcompton in the north Somerset area. I would think the Abraham born there was your man. Charles is near Barnstaple in north Devon - a mile or two from where I'm typing this! - a long way (in those days) from the Somerset coalfield area.
An Abraham Gould (of Midsomer Norton) married Sarah Ashman at Kilmersdon on 8 April 1833 - this looks like a possibility for the marriage. All these places are within a 5 mile radius

Tati-
I haven't heard from any of the "Devon" people yet. But after what Steve said, together with what you said, he does look like the wrong one. I will follow the lead for the Midsomer Norton Abe. Gould with Sarah Ashman. I will see if I can confirm with a birth cert. Like I have said in other topics.....it helps so much when I understand the geography (thanks Steve) since I am in the U.S.

Thanks for the help-
Jennie
