Elizabeth Goff

Notes:

Donald Cameron, 22nd Lochiel, and his wife separated and he later had a second family by the former governess, Elizabeth Goff, daughter of an Army sergeant. They stayed together until he died in 1832, and she is always referred to as Mrs Cameron, although no evidence has been found of a divorce, or of a second marriage (a marriage in Newcastle Cathedral has been mentioned in their family).

As can be seen by the birth places of their children, Donald and Elizabeth lived at Tynemouth, Northumberland, for some years, then Yorkshire and Surrey before moving to France. They lived for some of the time at least at Agen in France and the boys were educated at Soreze, in SW France. Lochiel was on his way to fetch them from school when he was taken ill and died at Toulouse.

In 1861 she was living at Mt Pleasant, Liverpool with her son John and daughter Ann Martha.

She was probably bapt. 14 Apr 1784, Richmond, Surrey, dau. of Samuel Goff and Sarah
