I am the youngest Goward that I know of, aged 15, and am looking for information regarding the Goward family. I'd like to know where the name comes from. The oldest Goward that I know is John Goward who was my great-grandad who died in the late 1950's in his 70's. He had 13 children, 12 sons and 1 daughter. They used to live at Burnt Oak in North London. We know that a few of the children have emigrated, but are unsure over where they are now. Is there anybody out there who used to have relatives from Burnt Oak. Don't have much information except for those whom my dad knows. Please reply to me as my dad and I are looking for information about our family.

Craig, We live in Coldwater, MI. The largest concentration of Gowards live in MIchigan. I know that Keitha Lachance (Goward) has done our complete family tree. I have not been able to locate her, but she was in Alaska the last I knew. I know there were approximately 20 children in my Grampa's family. We also had a relative that was a pony express rider, by the name of Richard Francis Goward.

My mom is interested in researching his family but we haven't turned up much of anything. Any info would be appreciated.

I think David Jax Goward was my grandfather's (Walter) brother, and the last time I saw David, in the early 1980's, I told him of how much he looked like my grandfather. David and Walter had several brothers, they lived in the Detroit Michigan area. Walter was married to Adora (Sharron), and had one daughter, my mother, Patsy. I do remember a wife named Mae but not sure who she is. Please email me at 61994petra@gmail.com ~Gayle

There are many Goward's in Detroit, Michigan, USA, I am in my 60's and my mother was the only child of Walter Goward and Adora Sharron. Walter had several brothers, and I think his mother's name was Nellie Bright. My information is limited, but will continue to search. I check my email only occassionally, but feel free to email me at 61994petra@gmail.com..
