Church, Somerset, (near Wells of 'Wilhelmina Frederica Carpendale',
spinster, of 'full age'), father Maxwell Carpendale, Clerk in
Orders,
to Abraham Gould, widower, gentleman, father John Gould, Woollen
draper. Witnesses were Montegue Maxwell Carpendale, Captain 2nd Scinde
Horse, and Susanna ? H Hacket. Residence of Wilhelmina at time of
marriage is ?Tunbridge?.
For some reason a "special
marriage license" was issued to this
couple by the Wookey Parish. This refers to Abraham as Revd. Abraham
Gould. In Armagh Clergy 1800-2000, Rev. W.E.C. Fleming refers
to Abraham Gould as being "of South Hamstead".
Occupation:
The marriage license to Wilhelmina in 1876 refers
to Abraham as "Revd. Abraham Gould" indicating clerical office, but the
1881 census lists his occupation as "London Correspondent" which I
would take as a journalist type occupation, and on the birth
certificate of his son Charles, Abraham's occupation is listed as
"Literary Correspondent"
Census:
1881:
111 Adelaide Rd,
London, Middlesex
