First of all, as Norman correctly pointed out, the character that looks like
a 'f' is actually the first part of a double 's'. This was very common in
the nineteenth century (and earlier) but had all but died out by the start
of the twentieth century.

The 1821 census of Stromness records a number of GOUDIE families, probably
all connected. Peter GOUDIE had evidently died by 1821.

James GOUDIE, 35, Blacksmith
Betty GROAT, 33
Peter GOUDIE, 10, School
Clem GOUDIE, 8, School
James GOUDIE, 6, School
Betty OUDIE, 2

Baikie GOUDIE, 60 Merchant/Blacksmith
Catherine GOUDIE, 36
Margaret GOUDIE, 15, School
Cath GOUDIE, 12, School
William GOUDIE, 17, App[rentice]
Christian GOUDIE, 9, School
Magnus GOUDIE, 10, School
James GOUDIE, 7, School
John GOUDIE, 4
Isabella GOUDIE, 1

Sally GOUDIE, 40, Widow
Margaret GOUDIE, 20, Strawplaiting
Sally GOUDIE, 10, School
Jacobina GOUDIE, 8, School

Margaret GOUDIE, 45, Widow
Margaret SINCLAIR, 16, Strawplaiting
Fanny SINCLAIR, 18, Strawplaiting

Robert CLOUSTON, 36, Mason/Farmer
+ family
+ 4 servants, including:
James GOUDIE, 13, Servant

Have a look at:

to see if you can sort all this lot out.

I also found some GOUDIE wills, including one for Baikie GOUDIE (probably a
relative of Peter's) at:

Happy hunting!
