<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi</p>
<p>I am really interested in what you have found here, but I can't quite work out from it where it goes into the 18th century?</p>
<p>The Goughs are in the exact area of the Ynyscedwyn Goughs, and for one to bear the name Fleming is a huge indication there ought to be a link</p>
<p>Best Regards<br />
Jon</p>

<title>John Gough (and reasonable doubt?) (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have found a couple of references to John and the even more mysterious Jane Gough referring to them as &quot;sp&quot;, sans progeny, and thus unable to be the originator of any collateral line that might have ended up with my curiously-named person from the First World War. It seems highly unlikely that we should be looking at any line even further back (Charles' brothers) so the coincidence of having &quot;Fleming&quot; in the name must just be that, a coincidence. </p>
<p>Best Regards<br />
Jon</p>

<title>John Gough (and reasonable doubt?) (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you - that certainly would be three days, baptism on the 7th, Catherine's burial on the 10th. Perhaps they baptise the baby immediately if the mother is seriously ill from childbirth, or has even died?</p>
<p>I wonder how it worked if William Gough has several houses. I assume a closer look at the Ynyscedwyn estate papers will say who each one is let out to - in the 1723/4 settlement it lists which family members are tenants where, I think. </p>
<p>I haven't got the full details of William's siblings, mother etc as the Goughs interest in Ynyscedwyn began with him and his marriage to Catherine. But it would be useful to know the dates for Douglas, Warren, Mary, and his mother. I believe somebody here offered me that, but I had not ticked my envelope on the profile at that time. I'll have to chase them up and see if they would kindly send me the information.</p>
<p>Best Regards<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just been reading about 18th burials - said it usually took place within 3 days of death.  </p>
<p>Probably the Gough's were visiting at the time, as there is something about babies having to be christened in case they died (can't be buried in the churchyard etc).</p>

<p>Perhaps this is as close as we can get to knowing for the moment? </p>
<p>But as you say, keeping looking turns up additional records for the Goughs in all sorts of places. When I started I thought it would all be held in the Ynyscedwyn Papers of the West Glamorgan Archive Service. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Morning Jon</p>
<p>(just to say....I'm a Mrs not a Mr) so I think Katherine died as a result of childbirth.  John was christened 7 October 1733 and Katherine was buried 10 October 1733.</p>
<p>If you search on the National Archives for William Gough of Highmeadow - there are a number of hit's including.</p>
<p>1732</p>
<p>Same suit.  Declaration of William Gough of Willsbury, gent., of the service of a subpoena...</p>
<p>Deeds, estate and family records of the Hall (of Highmeadow) and<strong> Gage </strong>families of Newland.  Additional Documents.  Same suit.  Declaration of William Gough of Willsbury, gent., of the service of a subpoena upon the wife of the defendant, William DAVIES/DAVIS</p>
<p>Held by: Gloucestershire Archives...</p>
<p>(there are about 6 records - going back to 1606</p>
<p>Grant by WARREN GOUGHE of Huellesfield, gent to William HALL of Heymedowe, esq., of rents and services etc. etc.</p>

<p>Clearly not part of the main Gough family because we have both William snr and jnr living well past this date, but another gentleman of note of the same name</p>

<p>No record seems to be conclusive, but this has a George Gough dying 1740 and the officiating minister is James Davies, curate, here at Hewelsfield but whom we also know well from Saint Briavels at the time</p>
<p>Are these places close by?</p>

<title>John Gough (and reasonable doubt?)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>John Gough was the youngest surviving son of William Gough of Saint Briavels and his wife Catherine nee Portrey, but identifying him has been extremely difficult. Only Theophilus Jones' including him in the family tree in his History of Brecknockshire made me aware of him, and his brother James Gough Aubrey inscribed his name on a plaque remembering all Gough brothers in Ystradgynlais church in 1784. </p>
<p>But he does not seem to appear in the Ynyscedwyn estate papers (though some of these I have discovered are in the Aberpergwm papers and I haven't thoroughly gone through those yet). Mr Griffiths here was kind enough to find mention of him in the mid 1750s petition to the House of Lords by William Gough, Richard Gough and the brothers of the latter.</p>
<p>So, his existence is attested enough, but what is his birth?</p>
<p>Now, I have paid for a month on Ancestry and found a Johes (Johannes = John) Gough baptised in October 1733 at Newlands. His parents are given as Guil and Eliz in Latin, which would logically be William and Elizabeth - which would be the wrong mother's name. BUT Latin for Catherine would presumably be Ecat, so maybe they wrote it wrong? </p>
<p>The things that makes me really think this could be John are <br />
1) The father's residence in the baptismal record is given as Highmeadow, Newland and 2 of the records of the Ynyscedwyn estate papers (D/D Yc 537 which is undated) (D/D Yc 538 dated<br />
1730) say &quot;William Gough of Highmeadow&quot;<br />
2) Catherine, wife of William Gough, died in 1733</p>
<p>Now, is this enough to make an identification? Did Catherine in childbirth? She certainly seems to have been having one baby a year as much as possible, for example Charles born in 1732 (born c June, died October 1732). </p>
<p>If John is born in 1733, he is 22 or so when he is mentioned on his father and brother's petition to the Lords. Did he live longer and marry? One very tiny possible clue for him doing so is that in the First World War there is a soldier, discharged 1916, with the surname Gough and with Fleming in his name, who MIGHT be a cousin of the main Gough line, because he is NOT anyone descended from William Gough junior</p>
<p>Best Regards<br />
Jon</p>
