Elizabeth Gudge

[rowena]

Hi There

The Gudge family.
I would like some help to find the baptism of Elizabeth Gudge, who was born c. 1826, St Ives. I would also like to find her parents marriage, if possible.

This is what I have been able to find on Elizabeth:
Ebenezer Jenkins married Elizabeth Gudge, Dec Qtr 1843, Penzance RD. The 1851 Census records Elizabeth, 25, an engineers wife, with sons Edwin 6, Thomas and Ebenezer, as visitors to Giles and Honor Gudge, in Penpol, Phillack.

1861 Census residence Hayle Foundry, Phillack: mother Elizabeth, 35, wife of an Engine smith, born St Ives, with children Edwin, 16, Seaman Merchant Service, born Phillack, brothers Thomas 14, and Ebenezer 12, and they are living with grandparents Giles Gudge 66, born Longbreudy, Dorset, retired Ships Master Merchant Service, and his wife Honor Giles 67, born St Ives.

Any help with further research on this family would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Rowena

Ooooops, apologies, one of my infamous spelling errors.

1861 Census: Elizabeths' mother is recorded as Honor Gudge, age 67, born St Ives.

Cheers, Rowena

an interesting snippet from WPR, index to vessels in John Tregerthen Short's work:
Elizabeth GUDGE Gyles master Wrecked nr. Nash Pt. Crew saved 24Nov1846

Cant find Eizabeth but her sister Mary was baptised 12 Nov 1820, Penzance Wesleyan Methodist Circuit.

Honor Ninnes d/o Thomas & Honor bap 26 Dec 1794

Thomas Ninnes mariner m Honor Paynter 8 Dec 1793

both at St Ives from Cornwall opc

Also on the opc site are the baptisms of the three daughters of Gyles & Honor - St Ives Wesleyan circuit recorded as GOUGE

And from the IGI and St Erth opc
Giles Goodge, son of Giles & Honor b 4 Sep 1837 bap 5 Jan 1838 at St Erth

And from St Erth
Eliza Jane GEORGE bap 6 Jun 1836 d/o Giles & Honor of Hayle, capt of a?

and further down the page for Giles it says "captain of a trader"

Hi Londoner,

Well, lots of information there, and lots of different spellings just to keep it interesting. Many thanks for your replies. Very helpful.

Kind regards, Rowena

Cant find Eizabeth but her sister Mary was baptised 12 Nov 1820, Penzance Wesleyan Methodist Circuit.

Elizabeth daughter of Thomas and Honor GOUGE of St Ives baptised 19th December 1825 St Ives Wesleyan Methodist Circuit (born 8th July) mother's parents Thomas and Honor DEWENS

This is on the OPC site as is sister Grace who was also recorded as GOUGE.

Mary is actually recorded three times - Penzance Wesleyan Circuit Register, Madron Circuit Wesleyan Methodist and St Ives and District Wesleyan Methodist Chapels Register.

I have found baptisms for 10 children and burials for 5 of them under Gudge, Gouge and George.

But in the 1841 Census there is also a son Josiah age 7 for whom I cannot find any record just yet. (1851 Census has his birthplace as St Erth)

Giles Gudge was baptised 6th July 1794 at West Compton Abbas, Dorset

Parents - Giles Gudge and Hannah Thorner who married 20th May 1793 at Toller Fratrum, Dorset

These last details from IGI.
