I've decided to do an hour or two of researching:D
Anyway, just stumbled across one of my rare surnames in the burial records but i have no idea who he is.
The cemetery register shows;
William GOULSON, 31 Jan 1863 Aged 22, Lincoln, St Swithin.
That would make him born c1841 but there doesn't appear to be a birth or death entry for him in the bmd, (nothing death wise between an 1855 entry and one in 1901!) presumably the death would be registered in the Lincoln(shire) district, no idea where he was born.
I did try the 1861 and 1851 census but there isn't a William that looks likely, although there are entries for Lancs and London which do also link to known places for the family over the years.
Any ideas???
