I have identified a family living in Southampton in 1911 as descendents of our Gowen group in Ballyhooly – they are not directly part of either of our groups ( John Going # 1 or #2) but are never the less Gowens from Ballyhooly.
I’ve found a Philip James ( or James Philip ) Going living in 134 Bevois Valley Rd. Southampton. He and his family owned the Portswood Hotel there at that time.
Philip, I can confirm was born in Cappagh, Ballyhooly in 1851 and is the son of an Edmond Going (John Going #1’s brother I believe) and Ellen Collins. Philip Joined the Navy in 1869 but by 1901 he was a naval pensioner.
Philip was married to Mary Rose Bartlett and the had the following children:
- Ellen, born Jan Feb Mar 1875
- Edmund James, born July Aug Sept 1876 ( Died in 1896)
- George, born July Aug Sept 1880
- Mary Annie, born April May June 1882
- Philip James, born Jan Feb March 1888
- Arthur Joseph, born April May June 1890
In 1911 all 5 children, except Edmund, were still alive …
I have come across British Army WWI Medal Rolls Index Cards that I found that I suspect are two of the sons … but that is where the trail goes cold ….. ( I have some information from earlier dates but nothing that can advance the search).
Incidentally this family is using the ‘Going’ surname spelling ( instead of Gowen) long after 1901 … which is the only group from Ballyhooly ( so far) that I have found.
