Goff / Gough - Bozeat, Northants


I. is a stipple print of G Goff (George, who married Sarah
Barker 11/10/1814) probably around 1780-820, based on costume. The water
colour 2. is unnamed but almost certainly of his son George (b.08/12/1829)
and from about 1810-1830 again based on costume, although Northamptonshire
fashion may have been a few years behind London. The artists of the colour
portrait is noted as 'Messers R. & W. Kelly, artists' of whom I have
been unable to find any record, either at the National Portrait Gallery
or at the Northampton Museum. Anything known about this family and these
pictures would be of great interest.
