I have found him in the 1841 census for Hawkhurst. He and Martha are there with their first four children. It is hard to read his trade. It looks like "Shorn."

Although initially I could not find him in 1851, I did eventually do so. He and Martha are there with many of the children. He is a shoemaker.

He is to be found in the 1861 census for Hawkhurst with Martha, Edmund, Elizabeth Martha, Ellen, Emma and Robert. Edmund, 20, is also a cordwainer.

By 1871, Martha his wife is not there and the only children left are Emma and Robert, who is an apprentice. Jonathan is noted as being a widower.

In 1881 he is a lodger living at 252 Winchester Rd. Hawkhurst.

In 1891, he is still around and living at 121 (I cannot read the street) and is again alone.

At first I believed that his wife's name was Pritchard due to the name of their first child. In the Kent Marriage data base done by David Hills, his wife's maiden name is Jones.

There is a William James Golding baptised on September 2, 1860. He was the son of William (shoemaker) and Jane Golding. Did they get the wife's name wrong? Did the first wife die and he remarry? Is this another family? Yes.

I found him and Elizabeth starting in the 1861 census. He and she and Anne and William Junior are living right next door to Frances and Marianne

In 1871, he and Elizabeth and all four children are there. Frances is no longer next door.
I believe this to be the family in the 1881 census:

In the 1891 census for Hawkhurst, there is a William Golding with the same details for himself and his wife as above. On the same page is a William Golding who matches the details of his son William. They live only a few houses apart on Tory Row. The youngest four children i.e., from George down, still live with them.

They are all still there in 1901 They all seem to be living together in Hawkhurst at 8 Tory Row. As well, there are two grandchildren, William Golding, 14, and Dorothy Ryan, 13, from Hastings, Sussex. If Dorothy was a granddaughter, then one of his daughters in theory married a Ryan. But in the 1891 census, while I can find a Dorothy Ryan, her parents are Denis and Annie, both from Hastings?

There is an Emma Golding buried July 12, 1848, age 6 years. I am assuming that it is the individual who seems to be named Amey at her baptism. I did have a lot of difficulty reading her name on the baptismal register.

Somehow I have mixed up figures as she cannot have been ten years old in 1838.

He does not appear after the 1881 census. Did he die?
