I am looking for ancestors of my great-grandmother JANE ANN GOYIN/GOYNE/GOYEN, born 1844 South Sydenham, (Beer Ferriss on some census )Devonshire, England
Her father was WILLIAM GOYIN/GOYNE/GOYEN, he was a 32 year old lead miner on the 1851 census, in Devon, he was born St Agnes, Cornwall
His wife was MARY ANN aged 30 born Beer Ferris, Devon

On census and parish record info, the spelling of the surname often varies, for the same family ( GOYIN/GOYNE/GOYEN)

A number of members of this family came up to "County Durham" in the early part of 1870 some also went to America and other parts of the world becouse most of them worked in the mining industry (tin mines) or were farm labourers, and work was in short supply !

If you look on the Genuki web site you will learn more about it, and other aspects of genealoge and family history from all over the world
