Welcome to the boards, Lynn Margaret.

IF Jink20 has identified the correct marriage above, that couple were on the Electoral Roll for Leigh, Lancs, in 2023.

The address does not appear to have been sold since then.
They may still be there.

Their two children are also listed with them in some years

You'll find the ERs under "search" at top right of this page.
When you find the entry, click on the document symbol to the right of the record to see the full address.

On the other hand -
a BeverlEy A Goulden was born in 1962.

She has the same mmn as the husband of a Helene Goulden who was listed with the family above in 2016-19.
The husband is probably the brother of that Beverley, although born several years earlier. Their parents married in 1940.


In that case, the Beverley who married Ashurst is not your cousin.

Helene is at a different address in Leigh in 2023, and her husband also for some years. He may have opted out of the public ER..

You could then register with 192.com to look at telephone numbers for Beverley
Presently there are 6 results with the Ashurst surname.

2 are for the Leigh area.( no middle initial listed)
1 can be discounted due to a different middle name.
The other 3 listings are for Spennymoor, Cleethorpes ( no middle initial listed) and Wigan ( same middle initial as Beverly, although listing reads Beverley)

Then there are the usual suspects thereafter, Facebook, Twitter, X, Internet Search on name etc etc

192.com has results for Helene Goulden aswell (Leigh and Wigan)

I see you have included Beverly in your GR tree……..presumably without the required permission (as per site guidelines)

The mother of the correct Beverly is in a London Gazette entry on FMP

She re-married in 1972………and in 1988

There is a July 2008 entry on FMP regarding Beverly's mother which suggests her married name is now Halliwell, living in Gainsborough Lincolnshire at that time

There are 2 192 entries ER dates 2002 and 2016-2020 both in Lincolnshire

In 2008, Barbara was resident in Lincolnshire

Trying to be discreet, as she is the same age as me ;-) ;-)

A member named John has Norman Goulden in his GR tree. Try making contact

EDITED

Sadly, this is one of them

Name Dale Nigel Lewington
Register Type Burial
Death Date abt 1994
Burial or Cremation Date 19 Aug 1994
Burial or Cremation Place Lincolnshire, England



The other one is on the ER to 2016 in Daventry
Zoopla has no record of the address being sold, but the occupants may not be the owners

A tree on Ancestry has info about the brothers (no more than I've posted above), but the 'owner' has also made the mistake of latching on to the Wigan marriage, as she has incorrectly recorded the 1960 birth with the additional 'e' in the forename.

Speculating........................possibly a complete 'red herring'

All we need now is for the OP to return............................ ;-) ;-)

Thanks to all for the information received. Its a lot to take in at the moment but will put it to good use in time. I have returned to Genes Reunited recently having acquired more information of late due to a passing on of two elderly relatives. I never had the privilege of meeting my cousin Beverly Goulden/Lewington, married name Spalding but hoping to trace her.
Many thanks again. Lynn
