  • Notes 
    • Born illegitimately as David 'Goulborn', Q2 1851 Northwich (GRO Online Index), but all other records have his surname Goben or Goban. No father named in marriage record. Age given as 40 on DC.
      In 1861 census as David Davies, born Wharton (Davenham).
      (Possible 1871 entry gives birthplace as Birkenhead, though this has him married.)
      Birthplace given as Winsford in 1881, Middlewich in 1891. Not found in 1901.
      A confusing 1911 census record has a spurious David Goben, age 40, widower, as head of household, amended to 'father', with William Littler, 50, as son-in-law and head of household, with wife Ann Littler, 50 (presumably Ann nee Trelfa).
