He was my grandfather but sadly died in 1993 without me knowing him as divorced from my Nan Violet Goulding (nee Wallace). They had one daughter Pam (my Mum).
From Wallasey, Wirral and I know that Joseph or Joe was one of 14 children. One of his sisters was called Rhoda. I believe he remarried, but I am not sure if they had any children.
I also know that for most of his working life he was at Cammell Laird Shipyards, Birkenhead, Wirral espically during the war as he was a key worker. But then went to a company called Victory Kidder (?) in the run up to retirement.
His Father worked at sea, hence the middle name 'Neptune' after a ship or something.
Any information would be great.
Thanks

Rootsweb had a query about Birkenhead Gouldings from a Shane Goulding. He may be a cousin?

Perhaps worth a try, although the email address (from 2002) may be sadly out of date.

This was the entry:

From: "Shane Goulding"
Subject: [BKHD-Wirral] JOSEPH GOULDING
Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 16:59:24 -0000


Could sks with access to the 1861 census look up info on my
g-g-grandfather Joseph Goulding.
I do not know his age, occupation or address. I know that his son, my G
Grandfather was born in Birkenhead in 1863 so I am hoping his father
shows up in Birkenhead in the 1861 census.

Regards
Shane Goulding
