Golding / Golden / Goulding et al Family History on Facebook
Economies change. We make decisions. Where we start out is not where may expect to end up. This is one of those stories.
This is a unique video of discovery with Barbara Windsor searching for family. It does not start out about Goldings … but an unusual ancestor’s name Golding Deeks provides a hint as to where one part of the family line came from. Barbara follows the breadcrumbs.
The Golding part of this story starts about 14 minutes into the video and then dominates the storyline until the video’s end.
COMMENT: Barbara Windsor, the video’s storyteller, makes a rather strange comment that she just cannot imagine Golding being a Christian name. She seems to have only known Goldings as Jews. Reality is that almost all Jews that are named Golding have taken the name since 1850-1870. These Jews came from the Baltic region — which is a story in itself which I have covered elsewhere. The Golding name is not only a good Christian name but is intimately intertwined with the story of Protestant Reformation in England.
