Golding/Golden/Goulding Family History on Facebook
Many of today’s Goldens, Gouldings and Gauldens that originated in southeastern England started out as Goldings.
This area (Essex, Sussex, Kent counties) was the original home to at least three great Golding lines in modern America that have a common ancestor in Sir Thomas Golding, 1435-1505.
These three great lines now largely bear four major family names: Golden, Golding, Goulding and Gaulden.
Below is a sample demographic representation of how many exist in the USA today. A popular first name is William — very popular with me — so I will use William to show where these individuals live today in America (2013).
