You should be able to find his birth on the GRO indexes in any LDS Family History Centre, or if you are in the UK most main libraries and Record Offices have them. Once you have the entry number you can buy the birth cert. on-line at www.pro.gov.uk
The certificate will give you his parents names, address, and his father's occupation. There are a lot of Goatchers in Sussex, look under the alternative spellings of Gocher, and Goacher, they seem to have been used indiscriminately until lare 19th c.

Annette Goatcher married Frederick Baker on 25 Dec 1883 at Billingshurst (GRO ref. 1883 Dec Qtr / Horsham 2b 338). Annette was previously married to Thomas Goatcher on 26 Jun 1875. She and Thomas had a son Ernest James Goatcher - bpt. 28 Nov 1875. Thomas died in 1877 of 'brain fever'. Annette's maiden name was Wensley and her father was Charles Wensley, a labourer.

Many thanks to Roger Goacher for sending the details of Annette Goatcher nee Wensley. My maiden name was Baker and Annette married my great grandfather and I am pursuing the Baker line. Any more information on Goatcher/Wensley/Baker would be appreciated.

I am hoping you might be able to give me a glue where to look next. I am looking for the parents of Maston M. Goatcher. He was married to a Mary Elizabeth Smithe Goatcher who was commonly known as Elizabeth. Maston was born in Alabama abt 1824, married Mary E. around August 1848 in Lawrence, Arkansas. Mary E. hailed from Tennessee. Mary E. remarried to a Kirkpatrick abt 1860 and have not been able to find what became of Maston.
Any and all help or clues would be greatly appreciated. FYI Maston is my Great-Great Grandfather. Great Grandfather is James M. and Grandfather is a Clemmie Thomas "C.T." or "Tommie".

My great grandfather was George Goacher of Smallfield Burstow. He married Elizabeth Carter. I realise Goacher and its varients is reasonably common in Surrey/Sussex. Have you encountered George and Elizabeth at all?
