GOFF / GOFFE / GAUFFE Julia / BAKER Joseph; ENG > KS,USA; 1846-1920

Julia GOFFE and her husband, Joseph BAKER, my great grandparents,
according to family lore originated in either London, England or Oxford,
England. I am hoping to learn the definite site of their origins, the
names of their parents, and information regarding their departure from
England and their trip to the United States. Julia was born in 1846 and
died in 1920. Joseph was born in 1840 and died in 1904. Their marriage
probably occured in the time span of 1870-72. They left England soon
after their marriage and traveled to Parkerville, Kansas, where they
lived for the rest of their lives. After arriving in Kansas, they had 2
daughters, Fannie Mary, born in 1873 and Charlotte Louise, born in 1876.

Any help you may be able to provide will be greatly appreciated.
