DFHG The Gooderham Families

The interest in the Gooderham family below started when working on the 1921 Census and seeing two families, the Gooderhams, a surname which was familiar to me in another context. Also, someone I know also had that same surname, so maybe there was a familial connection.

The 1921 Census showed two farming families with the surname Gooderham. The family heads were James Gooderham and William Hill Gooderham. Having looked at their families it appears that William was James’ son.

Their individual details, along with close relatives, have been recorded in Family Historian and each one has a narative or booklet from it.

The Gooderham family tree, as far it has been researched, is also available as a narative, starting from Joseph Gooderham who died in 1758. [Last uploaded: 22 May 2025]
