Ancestors
In these pages you
will find all the information gathered so far on our Geese Ancestors. There
are three main sections: Ganders, Geese and Other
Birds Ganders lists in alphabetical order of
Christian or first names our Male Ancestors. Geese lists in alphabetical
order of Christian or first names our Female Ancestors. Other Birds lists in alphabetical
order of surnames our Ancestors’ Spouses. There are many
variants of the Willgoose surname so I have included the Recorded Name
in the Notes column. If you would like to see a complete list of variants,
please click… Variants ! You
will see that some entries give fairly full details, whilst others list only
birth dates. If you
can help to fill in any of the gaps or, indeed, if you spot any errors, do
please let me know so that I can add to the knowledge of our ancestors. Code n. = born c.= baptised m.=
married d.= died b.= buried Where a double zero precedes the month
ie: 00 Mar 1890, this indicates the quarter in which the
event was registered, the exact date not being known. Every small detail enriches the
tapestry of our ancestral Geese’s lives for future Goslings to enjoy. If I have included anyone still living,
I offer my sincere apologies. Please tell me so that the error may be
rectified. My source records are constantly being edited
and indexed. For that reason - and also for economy’s sake - no specific
references have been quoted. The data has been gleaned from Church Records,
British Censuses, Websites, Trade Directories, the World Tree Project, Parish
Registers, Local History Societies and the excellent discs produced by
Archive CD Books, as well as from word-of-beak interviews and direct personal
knowledge kindly contributed by a world-wide Gaggle of Geese. |
