Oldcourt House, Cork. He was born 7 July 1803 in Baker Street, Marylebone, and died in Croydon on 18 June 1893, age 89. He was the ninth child of Sir George Goold, 2nd baronet, and Lady Charlotte Browne, daughter of Valentine Browne, 1st Earl of Kenmare and Hon. Charlotte Dillon. The family motto was Deus mihi providebit, or "God will provide". He served on Cork County Grand Jury in 1842. He was Deputy Lieutenant for Cork but resigned the position in 1862. He wrote The Single Serpentine Course of the Moon Round the Sun and the Earth (A. Boot & Son, 1883). In July 1874, he sold off 650 acres of his estate, in the Landed Estates Court. In 1878 he was involved in a Court dispute with Holmwood, Row and Company. Notwithstanding any position or duties retained in Cork, by the time he died Goold had lived in West Croydon for many years. The 1861 Census shows a married gentleman born in Marylebone called Henry Goold living in Pier Road, North Aylesford, Kent, with his wife Sarah, aged 35. He appears unmistakably on the Census only once: in 1881, living at 8 Canterbury Road, Croydon with a fifteen-year-old servant, Jane Smith. He is 77 years old, described as a married baronet and as a property and landowner. In April 1893, he was summoned before the County Court judge at Croydon to answer for an unpaid debt accrued by himself, but the judge declined to commit him to jail due to his advanced age. The York Herald made its own judgement, saying, "If he is considered too old to be made to pay his debts, many people will think he is also too old to be in a position to incur any." Successors Goold died in 1893, and was succeeded as president by James S. Forsyth, D.D. until at least 1894. Robert Palmer, M.A. was the Hon. Secretary in 1894. Secretaries The Hon. Secretary was Dr Edward Albert Sturman, M.A., FRSL (1840–1899), and his wife was Lady Secretary. Sturman and his wife owned the Holland Road premises and the Society, and accepted all its profits, using Goold's name and rank as bait to impress and convince new paying members. Sturman's father was George Sturman, a gun-maker born in Tower Hamlets, Middlesex in 1800. His mother Sarah was born in 1804 in Bethnal Green, and Sturman was born in Hoxton. The
