JAMES GOLDSBROUGH (1877 - 1946) GOLDSBROUGH SURNAME Recorded in several spellings including Goldsberry, Goldsborough, Goldsbrough, Goldsbrow, Gouldsbrough, Gouldsborough, and others, this is an English surname. It is locational from either of the places called Goldsborough in North and West Yorkshire. The North Yorkshire village is first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Goldeburgh, and means "Golda's fort", from the Olde English pre 7th Century personal name Golda and burg, a fortified place. Goldsborough in West Yorkshire appears as Godenesburg in the Domesday Book, and means "Godhelm's fort", from the Olde English or Anglo-Saxon name Godhelm. The surname recordings atken from various surviving charters and and registers includes John Goldsborough and Lawrence Goldsberry, both recorded in the Hearth Tax rolls for the county of Suffolk in 1674, and John Goldsbrow also of Suffolk in 1786. In 1695 Christopher Goldsbrough married Sibbel Lewis at St. James Clerkenwell, in the city of London, whilst much earlier, the first recorded spelling of the family name may be that of Walter de Goldisburc. This was dated 1206, in the "Pipe Rolls of Yorkshire", during the reign of King John, known as "Lackland", 1199 - 1216. The Goldsbrough name is recorded 387 times in the 1881 census, the Goldsborough variant is listed 229 times and the Gouldsbrough variant is listed 63 times. By the time of the 1998 electoral roll there had been little change in the numbers, Goldsbrough is listed 491 times and Goldsborough 312 times.

It is occupational and was used to describe a maker of machinery or objects, mostly in wood. The derivation is from the Olde English pre 7th century word 'wyrhta' meaning a craftsman, itself from the verb 'wyrcan', meaning to work or construct as in wheelwright, cartwright, millwright and wainwright. When 'wyrhta' was used on its own, it often referred to a builder of windmills or watermills. Perhaps not surprisingly this is one of the first occupational surnames to be recorded, and early examples include Robert Wricht of Shropshire in 1274 and Thomas le Wrighte of Derbyshire in 1327. Later examples of the surname recording include Joan Wright and Richard Trevesse who were married on May 29th 1552, at the church of St. Lawrence Jewry, in the city of London, whilst one of the earliest settlers in the New England colonies of America was Jeffery Wright, aged 18 years. He left from the Port of London aboard the ship "Truelove" bound for the Bermuda Island in June 1635. Probably the best known bearers of the name are the Wright brothers, Wilbur (1867 - 1912), and his brother Orville (1871 - 1948), the U.S. aviation pioneers, who designed and flew the first powered aircraft (1903). The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Patere le Writh. This was dated 1214, in the tax rolls known as the "Feet of Fines" for the county of Sussex. The Wright name is recorded 95,956 times in the 1881 census. By the time of 1998 electoral roll there had been a increase in the number to 123,876.

Using the various genealogical resources we have been able to construct a family tree for the ancestors of John Goldsbrough back to 1794 with the marriage of James Wright to Ann Bayley in Over Stilton, North Yorkshire. The reason why the early names were Wright was the fact that in 1839, Robert Wright and Ann Goldsbrough had a child called James before they were married. Although registered as Wright it appears that the mothers name, Goldsbrough was used, though as we shall see later James appeared to use both names as far as the census records are concerned.
