Hi Janey, Thanks for your message. Sorry for the late reply. The email notifications went to my email spam folder. Yes, bit far away but not impossible to have a connection. DNA might pick something up. Yes, your name rings a bell too, probably was in contact last year. :)

I have five generations of Joseph Goughs in my family tree, so I was immediately interested in this! I haven’t got back as far as you, but here’s what I have:

Joseph Gough, dates unknown, my 7x GGF - name solely from baptism of son below
Joseph Gough, bap. 1740, Ashleworth, my 6x GGF
Joseph Gough, 1782-1855, Minsterworth, my 5x GGF
Joseph Gough, bap 1812, Minsterworth, my 5th Great Uncle (sister Mary Ann Gough is my 4x GGM)
Joseph Gough, b1851, Cheltenham, my 1C5R

Geographically these are a bit out from your family’s location but the repeated use of Joseph is such that it seemed worth sharing. By the way, did we have a brief email exchange about DNA results about a year ago? It was certainly someone in Australia with links to the Forest of Dean. I’ll look out the email this evening!
