097 - Robert 2116 and Susan Gowers of Swaffham

Robert 2116 and Susan Padgett/Gowers

Robert 2116 was born in 1814 in Castleacre, and his father is thought to be 'Houlding' or Holding' Gotts. He married Susan Gowers in 1849, whose father was William Padgett. Their children born in Swaffham include:

 Robert 1814  b 1839

 Mary Ann  2125 b 1841, d 1845

 Harriett 2118 b 1843 m Jonathan Marshall Hudson in 1867

 Ruth 2119 b 1844, d 1865

 Marshall G 2120 b 1846 d 1911 (does not seem to have married)

 Mary Ann 2128 b 1848

 Elizabeth Lettice Tabitha 2122 b 1852

 Louisa Jane 2123 b 1859

 Alice Emma 2124 b 1863 m George Robert Patton in 1884 in Guisborough, then  David Horton in 1886. She possibly emigrated to USA as well.

 

Most of the family moved to the Loftus and Guisborough area, where they lived and died. There were no male descendants in this area.

Question: We have not found birth details of 'Houlding' Gotts; who was he, who were his parents?

For well she knew that there was rest

And peace beyond the tomb."
