"No need for your birth certificate dear, look here you are in the family bible!"
He has omitted his son George (bapt 11 Sep 1836 @ St James, Clerkenwell) by Hannah his wife.
My friend's great grandfather was Charles Futvoye Gold youngest of George & Emma's children.

Hi Jill
Apologies for being 6 years too late to this chat, but I’ve only just come across it. I’m a direct descendent of Emma Futvoye / George Gold, also along the same branch as your friend (Charles Futvoye Gold).
I only started researching my tree a few years ago and have taken the Futvoye branch quite a long way back (and even visited Spa in Belgium). Emma and George have always fascinated me because of their unconventional family arrangement. I noticed your friend has a ‘family bible’ - I would love to know a bit more about that if at all possible?
If it’s of any interest I have a photo of Charles and one of his wife.
Kind regards
Steve
