Hello, I am also searching for an Elizabeth Goldy, she was probably born in New Jersy, married John Morris in 1878, gave birth to a daughter Sarah in 1830. John died about 1833 and Sarah was living with relatives with no sign of Elizabeth. There was a male named John Goldy with Sarah on the 1850 census living with a family named Michner in Carrdingtob, Morrow Ohio. John Morris was Quaker and from New Jersey. I had heard somewhere that Elizabeth had remarried and left Sarah with family, could these be the same Elizabeth? Sarah was my 3rd great grandmother, she married Joseph Bowyer in about 1850 in Ohio.
Thank you

I'm sorry, but I don't think this is the same Elizabeth Goldy. My Elizabeth Goldy who was born about 1815 married William Williams in 1836 when she was about 20 years old and lived as his wife until she died in 1897 in Philadelphia, PA. I don't have any information on your Elizabeth (Goldy) Morris or Sarah Morris, but I will keep them in mind and if I see anything about them, I will get in touch with you. Thanks for your note and happy hunting.

According to the marriage cert Elizabeth Goldy and William Williams married on the 6th Jan 1836. It does not list any witnesses.

I only found the one Harry Podesta Williams born in 1881 but it does not give his parents. born 1881 means if William and Elizabeth were his parents they would have been approx 70 & 65 when he was born.

This looks like the family you refer to but the parents are George Williams and Ella ????

George in the above 1900 census might be the son of William and Elizabeth shown in the 1870 census. You need to try and tie the two families together.
