Biography

Marriage of John Goff and Alice. Asserted issue:-

  1. Stephen[1]

16 Nov 1612: Burial of Alice Goffe, the wife of John Goffe at Steyning, Sussex, England.[2]

Research Notes

The previously marriage record of 4 Feb 1590/1 of John Goff and Alice Beflill at St Botolph Aldgate, London, England[3] is too early to be the marriage of the mother of Steven Goffe, who himself was married in Kingston by Sea in 1604.[1]

There is a marriage of a John Gooffe to Alice at Petworth in 1566,[4] but this seems a little early.

Hello! Following up on the last name as it does not seem to have been fixed.

Birthdates are not correct for this person's father. Father has 1570 and this person, the son, has 1550, which matches wife and son's birth of 1571.

Also, Last Name at Birth should be changed to Goffe. I have moved 'Gough' to 'Other Last Name' for the aka, but only one name should be in the Current Name and Birth Name.

Thank you.
