New info on an old problem has come to light but I need some suggestions please.
John Goulson married Sarah Haynes 02 May 1838, Bottesford Church, Leicestershire.
In 1848 an article was posted in the Stamford Mercury stating John would not be held responsible for any debts/credit due in the name of Sarah, shortly after he went to the USA with his surviving two children, subsequent census returns are all in America and his wife is noted as Ann(ie) Wakefield Goulson.
So did he dump Sarah?
