	An aside, but wonder whether Sarah Gough is related to the Richard Gough that Gough's cave in Cheddar Gorge is named after? EDIT: Richard was actually named Richard Cox Gough. EDIT 2: A Richard Cox Gough was baptised 1827 Bedminster son of James and Lydia, whose marriage was posted earlier. For some reason I'm getting network errors and can't access the full transcript/record. From freereg: County Somerset Place (with link) Bedminster Church name (with link) Bedminster-St John the Baptist Register type (with link) Bishop's Transcripts Register entry number 1634 Baptism date 26 Apr 1827 Person forename Richard Cox<<<<<<<<<< Person sex M Father forename James<<<<<<<<<< Mother forename Lydia<<<<<<<<<< Father surname GOUGH<<<<<<<<<< Person abode Mill Lane Father occupation Miller Notes Bishops Transcript
