The Goninan Family
The Goninan Family
(also Goninon and
Goninen)
Goninan is a very
rare name and it is believed that the origin of the name
is from the cornish
(ie celtic) word Keonnen, meaning hedge of ash trees. One
of the earliest written references to the name that has
been found is in the Protestations of 1641. This was when
the House of Commons, in an attempt to show that the
country was united, required all adult males to pledge
their allegiance to the King, Parliament and the Church.
In the Parish of Breage in Cornwall the name of Peter
Goninin is recorded and then in 1660 in the poll tax
records we find the names of Peter Goninnan and wife,
Richard Goninnan and wife, Thomas Goninnan and wife and
Faith Goninnan.
Early on there
were any number of different spellings of the name, not
helped of course by the fact that very few ordinary folk
could read or write. The spellings recorded depended on
the whim of the person actually writing down the name. In
fact it's not unusual to see a father and son's name
recorded differently (eg Goninan and Goninon). Eventually
three main spellings emerged. The accepted spelling in
the UK is Goninan. This spelling is also found in
Australia and the States but the branch of the family
that settled in Wisconsin spell their name Goninen and
the descendants of the branch of the family that settled
in Tasmania, spell their name Goninon.
By
the first census in the UK in 1841, four main branches of
the family have become established. At that time there
were just 39 people in the world with the name Goninan
most of them living in Cornwall:-
The
Gwithian branch (17)
Mary Goninan
and her remaining unmarried children, Matthew, John,
Henry, William and Jennifer
Edward (Mary's
eldest son) and his wife Catherine and their children
Edward, Richard and John
Richard
(Mary's son) and his first wife Bessy and their children
Elizabeth, Mary, Richard and Jane.
All of these
were living in Connor Downs in the Gwithian Parish except
for William who was lodging in St Just
The
St Just branch (9)
William
Goninan in Penzance with his daughter Jane
William (son of the above) and Jane Goninan and their
children William, Alfred and Edward (living in St Just)
William's brother Josiah (serving in the army)
Peter Goninan in Madron workhouse
The
Helston Branch (6)
Edward and
Honour Goninan and their sons Edward and Henry (living in
Helston)
Henry and Ann
Goninan living in London (believed to be of the Helston
branch)
The
Perranuthnoe branch (7)
Richard and
Ann Goninan and their daughter Elizabeth (living in
Sithney)
Their son
Richard and his wife Letitia and their children Eliza Ann
and John William living in the Parish of Phillack (in
1842 they went to New Zealand before settling in
Australia)
A Grand
Gathering of Goninans from around the world took
place in Cornwall on the 7th, 8th and 9th June 2002
when family members had an opportunity to meet and
celebrate their shared cornish ancestry. Over 70 family
members attended including 20 from the US and 24 from
Australia. This was the first truly global gathering of
the family. Group Photo
It was followed in October 2005 with a very
successful gathering in Launceston, Tasmania. Here is a
group photo taken at Beaconsfield where Henry and Mary
Goninon and their family settled.Tasmania
It was
agreed that all being well the next global family
gathering would be held in Wisconsin in 2009. For the
latest information on this please visit the web site at
