GOODALL OF KIRKSTALL

The Samuel Goodall who married Mary Staincliffe in 1806 at Guiseley may have been the one of that name baptised at South Kirkby on 8 Jan 1786, son of Joshua Goodall. The name Joshua was used for a son of Samuel and Mary.

The Kirkstall parish registers record the burial of a Joshua Goodall of Kirkstall on 12 Apr 1836 aged 57. This would fit with the baptism of Joshua, son of Joshua Goodall, at South Kirkby on 16 Apr 1780.

Joshua Goodall and Sarah Brook were married at Adwick le Street on 25 Oct 1774.

Another Samuel Goodall, whose father was also named Joshua, and whose mother was Ann (Clark) Goodall, was baptised at Cowthorpe on 11 Apr 1785. However, this Samuel was presumably the Samuel Goodall, innkeeper, of Market Weighton, who died on 27 Apr 1852 aged 67 and to whom there is an MI at Cowthorpe adjacent to that of Joshua and Ann Goodall.

[1] 1851 census returns, Kirkstall, where Mary Goodall is described as a widow. Samuel was not in Mary’s household in the 1841 census returns, when she was living on Club Row, Kirkstall, so it seems likely that he was dead by then.

[5] Horsforth PRs; Bramley Baptist Chapel registers. The latter also show the deaths of Charlotte, daughter of Samuel Goodall of Bramley, on 4 Dec 1823 aged one year and eleven months, and of Samuel, son of Samuel Goodhall of Bramley, on 19 May 1824 aged one month. However, I have not found births or baptisms for such children and they appear to have been confused with Charlotte Goodhall, born 15 Apr 1822, and Samuel Goodhall, born 20 Apr 1824, both children of George and Meriah Goodall (RG 4/1714). Also living with Mary Goodall in 1841 were a Maria Goodall, aged ten, and an Elizabeth Goodall, aged twelve.
