Although the Gough family can be traced back to 1086 in Wales, it did not arrive in Jersey until the early years of the 20th century. It is still present today

Elizabeth Mary Ann Gough, nee Lempriere, who married Henry William Richard Gough, with their sons Henry Edward (r) and William Henry outside the family shop at Commercial House, Trinity, in 1912. Henry William Richard Gough bought Commercial House with the adjoining forge and gardens on 23 October 1909 for £825 and payment of all Seigneurial rights. He sold the property on 14 December 1929 to Ann Street Brewery for £1,500. As the Gough family tree shows, Henry William Richard's father Richard Philip (1800-1875) came to Jersey as a Royal Marine having married Mary Ann Hulman in Plymouth. The couple had six children born in Devon. Mary Ann died in 1860 and Richard Philip immediately remarried, to Susanne Amy, and the couple had seven more children between 1861 and 1870. Richard Philip died in 1875 and his widow then moved to Australia, presumably without her children, dying there in 1889. Henry William Richard was only 11 when his mother left, and his younger sister only five. At least one, and possibly more, of the children went with their mother to Australia, but Henry William Richard appears to have remained in Jersey, where he was working as a servant at the age of 17 at the time of the 1881 census


Record Search


Direct links to lists of baptisms, marriages and burials for the Gough family can be found under Family Records opposite. If you want to search for records for a spelling variant of Gough, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the
family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter,
for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records.

You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want
and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates.

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

New records

From August 2020 we have started adding records from non-Anglican churches, and this process will continue as more records, held by Jersey Archive, are digitised and indexed. Our database now includes buttons enabling a search within registers of Roman Catholic, Methodist and other non-conformist churches. These records will automatically appear within the results of any search made from this page.

Origins of surname

This is a surname of Cornish or Welsh origin, either derived from the Cornish and Breton word for a smith, goff, or the ancient Welsh word coch for red, indicating someone with red hair or complexion.

The name may have originated from Eleanor, the red-haired daughter and heiress of Catherine, one of the daughters of Llewellyn, the last Prince of Wales. The first Goughs are believed to have been located in Radnorshire near the border between England and Wales. The Goughs' manor house at Marsh, not far from Montgomery, Wales, dates back to 1086 and, in 1431, was held by John Gough, son of John ap Griffith and Joan's daughter Eleanor.

Sometimes the initial "g" was interchanged with "c", but this may be put down to poor reading and writing, as well as strong dialects.

Early records

The Goughs, a family still present in Jersey today, were relative latecomers to the island, their first family baptisms being that of Henry, son of William and Leonore, in St Peter in 1913. The family had Gloucestershire origins.

Tips

The church record links above will open in a new tab in your browser and generate the most up-to-date list of each set of records from our database. These lists replace earlier Family page baptism lists, which were not regularly updated. They have the added advantage that they produce a chronological listing for the family name in all parishes, so you do not have to search through A-Z indexes, parish by parish.

We have included some important spelling variants on some family pages, but it may be worth searching for records for a different spelling variant. Think of searching for variants with or without a prefix, such as Le or De. To search for further variants, or for any other family name, just click on the appropriate link below for the first letter of the family name, and a new tab will open, giving you the option to choose baptism, marriage or burial records. You will then see a list of available names for that type of record and you can select any name from that list. That will display all records of the chosen type for that family name, and you can narrow the search by adding a given name, selecting a parish or setting start and end dates in the form you will see above. You can also change the family name, or search for a partial name if you are not certain of the spelling

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

New records

Since August 2020 we have added several thousand new records from the registers of Roman Catholic, Methodist and other non-conformist churches. These will appear in date order within a general search of the records and are also individually searchable within the database search form
