Ambrose Goodinoughe - Sources ?

clive harry had raised a query to profile managers with no feedback.

Carole (Erickson) Pomeroy,Vol. Curator if this is anything you can discover, it would be much appreciated.

I'm sorry, all I was able to find were personal trees, I looked in 2 Wiltshire visitations, but no Goodenoughe/Goodenow, and several other sites I have bookmarked, plus a general internet search looking for each surname.

I wonder if it's bogus

Rooting around Rootsweb I find it leads to this

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=njmey...

Mary Tudor b 1500
Father: Henry VII Tudor b: 28 JAN 1457 in Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Wales
Mother: Elizabeth Plantagenet b: 11 FEB 1466 in Westminster, London, England
Marriage 1 Robert Goodinowe b: 1499 in England

Anyway this gives us a place to look for real sources.

Definitely bogus. Found the myth:

http://www.petoskeynews.com/finding-the-royal-connection/article_5b...

Looking at a lot of the Ancestry family trees I noticed two things. About half of them showed the “royal” connection and the other half did not show a spouse for Mary married to Robert Goodenow. Now I know, and have mentioned this many times in this column, the Ancestry trees are only as accurate as the research done by the submitters. I looked at several “royal” lineages in different accepted biographies. Mary Tudor came up in each one but nowhere did I see any connection to the Goodenows. On closer examination I noticed the dates we had proved did not exactly fit with Mary’s information.

Leaving Ancestry.com I began checking some of my other favorite sources and I did not find any indication there was a royal connection. I was disappointed, of course, but satisfied I had done a good job on the research and I would keep looking for the “real” Mary.

The one regret I have is on Ancestry.com the submitters are not always still available to contact so I can explain my findings to them. Also many people when contacted do not believe their “research” is not correct. Because, after all, they found it online and they all know that “everything on the Internet is true.”

Dear Erica and Carole
Thank you for your efforts on our behalf. Taking a slightly different tack, I have original source material showing the direct line back to Richard GOODENOUGH born Broadwell c1520 d 1560. As he had a son Ambrose who is also in the direct line, it seems highly likely that Richard's father was the Ambrose who is the topic of this discussion. I notice you have focussed on Robert but I'm not sure where he might fit into my jigsaw even if he were real. Do you have any thoughts on where I might dig to find Ambrose?

Dear Carole and Erica
I have been in contact with Nicholas Meyer who posted the connection to Mary Tudor on ancestry. He confirms this was a mistake and says that Robert actually married Mary Margaret. I'm not sure if that helps.
