Hi, I am researching the ancestors of Sarah Gough who was baptised in Bream in 1790. She married William Elway, a miner from Pillowell, in 1820. I believe her parents may have been James Gough (b.1749) of Bream and Elizabeth Griffin.

Earlier generations are uncertain but I am trying to see if there is a link to the Goughs who lived at Pastors Hill in the late 17th century. I would be grateful for any information.

Many thanks, Rob

Just for background: Children of James & Elizabeth GOUGH

Thanks for this information. The Sarah Gough will is really helpful as it seems to link three generations.
