Hi ArgyllGran,


Thank you anyway but I dont think it's my Thomas Goodacre as that Will was proved in Oct 1814 and my Thomas was buried in Dec 1814 or Dec 1815.

Thank you Chris.

(above has some items which look to relate to 'Banker' John, if he is the Cousin of Thomas above)

(above looks to be other Banker. Goodacre/Buszard)

GR still won't send my PM with the attachment.

The document is the Will of the Thomas Goodacre "the younger, late of Leir, Leicestershire, and now of the town of Northampton"
His Will was proved on 14th October 1814.

It mentions "my dear and loving wife Mary Goodacre".

If that's the Thomas you're looking for (I'm a little confused), I can email the document to you if you like to PM me your email address, Wendy.

And good luck deciphering the handwriting!

OK thanks Chris,

Right there was 2 Thomas in Wymeswold one born abt 1730 and one born 1735 there is only a christening for the one in 1735 and not one for 1730 both dying 1814/15 one married to a Mary and their son William born 1763 was my 4th g-grandfather. There other Thomas married Elizabeth Smith there son William was born 1765 and died the same year.

I was hoping to sort out which Thomas was which.

(ah!, not looking Wymeswold then, for 1814)

Hi Eringobragh yes I've seen that christening the problem is that Chris says the Will says he was Thomas the younger whcih means to me he was the son of a Thomas.

Chris sorry you put probate date as 15 Oct 1814 but thomas wasnt buried until Dec 1814 also the link you sent says 8 May 1818 sorry to be a pain unless I got it wrong.

In 1757 Thomas Goodacre married Elizabeth Smith.

(although on Ancestry to view, they do have mistranscriptions!, sometimes best to check above first)


Edits (also newspaper item, 1815, Rev. Benjamin Richings, Marriage to Harriet Jane, eldest daughter of John Goodacre, banker, Ullesthorpe House)

Nottsgirl. The Thomas Goodacre who was buried Dec 14 1814 appears to be the son of William and Jane he was Baptised Nov 19 1735.


This site should help .....

(Northampton one mentions a cousin John Goodacre the younger, of Ullesthorpe, Leicestershire)

I've found the document and saved it - attached it to a PM for you, but GR doesn't seem to be sending the PM.

Will try again later, unless anyone else manages it before me.

Name: Thomas Goodacre
Gender: Male
Age: 85
Birth Date: 1730
Burial Date: 14 Dec 1815
Burial Place: Wymeswold, Leicester, England
FHL Film Number: 596084
Reference ID: bk 1 cn43


or


Name: Thos . Goodacre
Gender: Male
Age: 79
Birth Date: 1735
Burial Date: 14 Dec 1814
Burial Place: Wymeswold, Leicester, England
FHL Film Number: 596084
Reference ID: bk 1 p4 cn30


This seems to be a big coincidence, both getting buried on the same day but a year apart.




This seems to be a different man.

Name: Thomas Goodacre (the younger)
Probate Date: 15 Oct 1814
Residence: Leicestershire, England

This is really hard to read but he was a gentleman, late of Northampton but from Lan? in Leicester. His wife was Mary.


EDIT Lan? could possibly be Leir.

Hi,

Could some kind person please look on the above records for Thomas Goodacre death abt 1814 Leicestershire, would like to see if its one who died in Wymeswold and if any other family is meantioned please.

There was two Thomas who died in Wymeswold one in 1814 and one in 1815 so trying to sort out which one is mine.

Thank you for any help given on this.

Wendy

P.S sorry forgot to say its on Ancestry :-(
