How to prove if he is mine or not?
In my tree I have a Benjamin Goulson abt 1779, Woolsthorpe, near Grantham, Lincs.
I know nothing more about him but have just found a marriage, census and death and wonder what you all think, do they match my man or are they the details of someone else? It's the leap from Woolsthorpe to Coningsby that has me wondering. birth: 06 Apr 1779 —Woolsthorpe (near Grantham), Lincoln, England residence: 1779 —Woolsthorpe (near Grantham), Lincoln, England parents: Joseph Goulson (from other records known to be a farrier) groom's name: Benjamin Goulson bride's name: Sarah Elmitt marriage date: 1807 marriage place: Coningsby, Lincoln, England 1822 London Gazette Goulson, Benjamin, formerly o'f Nicholl-Hill, Louth, and late of Louth, Lincolnshire, Farrier.

Have you looked at the marriage on Lincs to the Past, Glen? Benjamin Goulson of this parish and Sarah Elmitt of this parish were married in this church (Coningsby) by Licence 7 Sep 1807, witnesses William Jackson (I think) and John Clark.
I wonder whether the licence info is available.

William Jackson married Mary Elmitt in 1804 in Coningsby, and I can't see a John Clark marrying an Elmitt or a Goulson on FamilySearch.

I think the licence could be the only option, though it's a one off venue for the family as far as I know, his father died when he was still young, I haven't traced his mother's death yet and the dates mean he can't be found with rellies on a census.
The blacksmith & vet trades fit with other family. An aunt married a Clark a few years earlier, maybe not the same family but........... Sarah Goulson Spouse: Thomas Clark Marriage: 22 JUN 1774 Ropsley, Lincoln, England Messages: Extracted marriage record And maybe a son? name: Thomas Clark gender: Male baptism/christening date: 03 Dec 1776 baptism/christening place: KIRKBY-LA-THORPE,LINCOLN,ENGLAND father`s name: Thomas Clark mother`s name: Sarah
