Goward Family in Leicestershire
I am looking for details on a Samuel Goward. I have no details on his date of birth or parents, however I do know that he was married to Sarah (surname unkown) and had the children Samuel 1747, Sarah 1750 & Sarah 1752, in Billesdon, Leicestershire. It appears his wife Sarah died shortly after, as he remarried in Dec 1754 to a Charlotte Dolby. They had two children (that I know of) William 1755 and John 1756.
The son, Samuel, went on to marry a Hannah Sprigg in July 1769 in Market Harborough. I can only find one child from this union, a daughter, Frances b. 1777, who married a John Saddington in 1800.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Goward Family in Leicestershire
I am also looking for Goward connections. My Gt.Gt.Grandfather, John Maw, c.1800 was married to Pricilla Goward on 23.1.1823 in Parish Church of Market Harborough. Her parents were Thomas Goward, b. about 1778, and Sarah. Maiden name not known. A Sarah Goward, aged 65, is listed in the 1841 census, living with a daughter, Sarah, aged 40yrs at Bowling Green Place in Market Harborough. Perhaps these bits of information might be of some help to you? Have you anything that would fill in my gaps, before 1778? Thanks.

Re: Goward Family in Leicestershire
I haven't really been able to find much at all on the Gowards, but some time ago, I was sent a descendants list for a Francis (m) Goward and Mary Rade. I don't know when Francis was born, however, his children were Sarah b 1791, Susan b 1795, Ellen b 1797, Mary b 1799, Ann b 1801, and Richard Francis b 1806. If you find out later that you may be connected to any of these, let me know and I will send full details (coming forward).
I also have an Ann Goward, who married into another branch of my family. She was born in 1716 in Horton-on-the-Hill, Leic, but I have no other details of her, or her family.
I'm sorry I don't have more going back, but as a point of interest, there is a Goward Street in Market Harborough, Leic!

Re: Goward Family in Leicestershire
An Akeitha from Arizonia told me last year that the Gowards actually migrated to England from France. I am a descendant of Walter Goward. He had about 5 brothers: William, Edward... and a sister Juanita. I think my Walter's mother's name was Nellie Bright. I would love to find out some information on them and their history if you have it. Thanks ~ Gayle
