Hello Kariane,
My name is Kim Anglesey and I am also researching Gardiner/Gardner and Goodship families from the Chalford/France Lynch area. I am descended from John Gardiner (b. 31 May 1806 in Waterlane or Chalford) who married Mary Ann Pettit (b. 2 Jan 1806 in Chalford). From what I can surmise, she was either illegitimate or her father died or abandoned her mother. Her mother, also Mary Ann Pettit, apparently married William Goodship (b. abt 1780 in Chalford) and Mary Ann appeared to have taken on his name. I am looking for more information on her father and beyond. I am also looking for information on John Gardiner's father (William Gardiner, b. abt 1778 in Hallier, Bisley; married Ann Hudd, b. 7 Apr 1772 in Edgeworth) and his grandfather Thomas Gardiner (no more information). I believe William Gardiner and Ann Hudd appear in the 1841 census.
Any information you may have on children, death dates, spouses, etc. that I haven't given you would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Kim
