    Emmeline Goward was still alive in the early 1950's living in Worthing where she and William had retired to. They had no children. Gertrude her sister did not marry or have children and went blind later in life. She lived with her sister Emmeline I think in their old age.

    William Edward GOWARD and his wife were missionaries on Beru, Kiribati, he served in the South Seas from 1888 to 1919. It would appear that in 1913-14 that Beatrice Emmeline SIMMONS born in 1880 and appearing on SIMMONS Chart 0406 was a missionary with them.
    The London Missionary Society gives the following information William Edward GOWARD, 1860 to 1931 - Samoa Mission 1888-1899, Gilbert Islands to 1919.
    There appears to be a William Goward Memorial College in  Numaona, South Tarawa  
    On another Web Site we find the following:
    This school Hiram Bingham High School (HBHS) is named after the first missionary to Kiribati, Rev Dr Hiram Bingham of the American Board of Commission for Foreign Mission (ABCFM), who landed at Abaiang on November 18, 1857.
     It was founded in 1900 by Rev William Goward of the London Missionary Society (LMS) as Rongorongo School for the purpose of training pastors to spread the gospel to other islands and to train teachers for Primary schools. The Centenary of HBHS is being celebrated on September 15, 16 and 17, in the year 2000 after the biennial General Assembly in Beru.
     In 1910, Miss Beatrice E. Simmons, a female teacher from LMS, started the Girls’ High School at Rongorongo to train young women to prepare themselves to be wives of future pastors and for other useful purposes.
    There is a picture on a Web Site of William and Emmeline GOWARD and Beatrice E SIMMONS, the article with it reads
    "W.E. and Mrs. Goward, with Miss B.E. Simmons." Portrait of three mission workers standing by tree. One image from an album of 32 prints of Ronoronu, Beru, inscribed, "Photographs from Ronorono, Beru, Gilbert Islands. Taken by the Rev. W.E. Goward. For the Rev. R. Wardlaw Thompson, B.A. D.D., with sincere regards.". Rev. Goward served in the South Seas from 1888 to 1919. Wardlaw Thompson was Foreign Secretary of the LMS from 1881 to 1914 and had visited the missions in the South Seas as part of the Deputation of 1897-1898.
    A mission to Samoa or Navigators Islands was started after a visit by John Williams in 1830. The mission field was successful, famous for its educational work. The Malua Theological College was established in 1844 and the Leulumoega High School was established in 1890. A school for girls, called Papauta, was founded in 1892. By 1905 the indigenous Church was well organised and became effectively financially independent in the 1920s. A high percentage of the population was allied to LMS churches. The main LMS mission stations were on the islands of Upolu and Savai'i in Western Samoa and Tutuila in Eastern Samoa. The Gilbert Islands [later Kiribati] became part of the Samoan mission in 1870 and together with the Ellice Islands [later Tuvalu] became known as the North-West outstations of the Samoan mission.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
