Goulstone Family Photographs

​Frank Bailey
February 2020

Frank Bailey wrote us about the names of people in a story published about the Goulstone Family ​in 2015. On the original photograph below, he identified his great great grandmother, and his great, great aunt, Louisa Goulstone together with their mother, Hannah Anne Walters, wife of Thomas Goulstone. These are his kind comments about the family's history.

​I enclose a family photograph (right) showing Louisa, Hannah and Rosa Goulstone on holiday in Largs Scotland in 1901. I think you can see why this confirms my comments on the names on the original article on the website.

The original family photo is shown below. I feel that the photo was taken in Bath either at the father’s funeral or Hannah’s 75th birthday, both in 1900. I would love to know which of the smoothed haired ladies is Mrs Deborah Gale and which is Mrs Sophia Tanner on the original photo.

Deborah Jane Goulstone (1853 - 1940)
Deborah married John Tanner (1842 - 1913), who tenanted Lower Shockerwick Farm. They were married on 17 April 1879 at Box Church. This was John's second marriage after his first wife died in 1877 and he already had two children.

Deborah and John had seven children: John Goulstone (born 1880); Deborah Goulstone (b 1882); Louisa Goulstone (b 1884); Arthur Thomas (b 1887); Bertha Mary (b 1889); George William (b 1894); and Isabel Rose (b 1895).

Bertha Sophia Goulstone (1859 - 1934)
Bertha married John Gale (1848-1911) at Box Church in 1879. They moved down to Hampshire to live where John worked in the tourist trade as hoteliers. By 1891 they owned Highfield Boarding House, Bournemouth. After John’s death on 10 November, the family continued to run the hotel until 1928. Bertha and John had five children: Ralph Goulstone; Ralph William; Bertha Mary; Rose Perpetua; and Edmund Charles St John.
