Sudden
Death
An inquest
was held on Wednesday last, at the Town Hall, St. Albans before R.G. Lowe,
Esq., coroner, on view of the body of Mrs. Sarah Gooch, aged 49, wife of Mr.
George Gooch, gunsmith of St. Albans, who died suddenly on the previous evening.
The deceased had ben to a friends house to tea and on setting out for home on
St. Peters-street, she complained of her breath and stopped several times. When
she got as far as Mr.Nightingales she said she could not go any further, and went
into the house She gasped for breath several times and wished a surgeon to be
sent for. Mr. Russell was sent for, and on his arrival she got up, held her
arms out, and then sank back in a chair and died. Dr. Russell said he had
attended the deceased for some years. She had had several attacks of
bronchitis, but last week appeared very well. When he was sent for to Mr. Nightingales
he felt her pulse, and it beat three or four times, and immediately afterwards
she died. He believed that coming out of a warm room into the cold air,
produced temporary congestion of the lungs, which impeded the circulation and
caused the hearts action to stop. The jury found that deceased had died from
natural causes.

that:
Sarah Brown
(b 1821) dau of William and Elizabeth Brown marries George Gooch (b 1806 or
1808) in 1841
Richard
Walter Brown (b 1830) marries Harriet Gooch (b 1835) in 1857. Harriet is the dau of Henry Gooch (b1816)
Questions
are:
How are
George and Henry Gooch related? Cousins
or brothers.
Why is
Henry identified as being born in Canterbury and George in Ipswich?
Hi,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Peter Martin (petermartin1138@gmail.com)
My grand mother was Gwendoline Paine nee Gooch.
I have much of the census information you have published but found much of interest. I can exchange info on my branch of the Gooch family.....
apologies Peter, I never noticed your comment. I am interested in anything you have. I'm quite confused by the Gooch family.
