Searching for Lillian Gould nee Norris
« on: Friday 21 October 22 01:25 BST (UK) »
Hi to All,
I am trying to locate family of Lillian May Gould nee Norris. She was married to Richard "Dick" Samuel Gould. I have a lot of information regarding her family.
Lillian's parents are Samuel Norris and Euphemia Norris nee Pasker.
George and Lillian had 2 sons, George Reginald and Richard Samuel.

I am the great-grandson of Lillian's sister Bessie Glaser nee Norris. I just found the RootsChat forum and look forward to utilizing the knowledge of this group.

I have a family member from the United States that is going to New Zealand to look for more information on the George Alexander Gould and Lillian May Gould (nee Norris) family. She would like to be able to get more information on this side of the family.

I came across an old post from April 29, 2015 with a post from Gouldie. She stated that she was the daughter of Richard Gould. I can't send any message through the forum yet and it doesn't look like she has been active since 2015. If anyone has any information regarding the Gould family I would appreciate it.

Respectfully
SoilsEng

Would you please provide some dates such as years of birth, marriage & death & places?

Now that you've made 4 posts you should be able to send PMs (Personal Messages) to other members. Just in case they don't have notifications turned on or don't have their current email address here on Rootschat it would be a good idea to comment on the post you found to increase chances of making contact with them.

This is the other thread

Have you got the wrong husband for Lillian at the start of your post?

I agree with aghadowey that you should post a reply on the old thread. Gouldie's only post was on that thread so she can't send personal messages either until she makes more posts.
Say in your reply on the previous thread that you have begun your own topic about Lillian and quote the topic number.

'buried at Birkenhead-Glendfield Cemetery, Auckland, New Zealand'

'b. April 26, 21918 Catcott, Somerset, England'

If you go to this site you can look up the deaths and there is a way to get a copy of the death notice that was published in the papers.  Or some libraries have an ask a librarian service and will do look ups.

I am a he, not a she. Lillian was my grandmother and obviously I have a fairly complete knowledge of the Gould family here in NZ. A few years ago I also went to UK and stayed with a son of May, a passed sibling of my passed grandmother Lillian.
