George was a captain in the the
Royal Engineers. George, then George Jackson, was made lieutenant on 17
April 1866. (1867
Army
list), stationed in Ireland until 1871.
The Royal Engineer Journal of 1871 notes that
"Lieut. G.I. Jackson has been permitted to alter his name to Gould." and
that "This officer has arrived in England from Bermuda and is now on Leave".
George Gould was then stationed in Devonport in 1872
and in Gibralter in 1873
through 1877.
In 1878,
George was stationed in Cork Harbour, Ireland, and he was promoted to
Captain on 31 December 1878 (1880
list). In the 1881
Army
List, George is noted as commanding the 18th company of the Royal
Engineers, stationed in Cork Harbour. George retired "receiving a gratuity,
with permission to retain his rank, and to wear the prescribed uniform" on 6
December 1881 (London Gazette 6 December 1881 p6554). He
was listed in the Reserve until 1895.

Dorsetshire, changed his name to Hamilton Llewellyn Gould by royal license
dated 20th of April 1871. On his death 23rd of April 1873, his son George
Thomas Ingelheim Gould succeeded to the estates of Upwey, Dorset as well as
Fanningstown, county Limerick, which had been in the Jackson family. In
1921, George granted a 50 year lease of shale mines at Upwey to the National
Oil company for £150 per annum.

of arms, and recorded in the College of Arms, otherwise the said Royal
licence and permission to be void and of none effect:
And to command that the said Royal
concession and declaration be registered in Her Majesty's College of Arms.
George was an enthusiastic hunter of wildfowl, and a great friend of Sir
Ralph Payne-Gallwey, a fellow shooter, who wrote a number of books on the
subject and mentions his shooting companion, George, in a number of places.
In The Fowler in Ireland p11 (Sir Ralph
Payne-Gallwey, 1882), we read:
The best aggregate day's sport in my experience,
was one hundred and thirty-nine Duck and Wigeon, killed by Captain Gould,
R.E., and myself, from our punt off the West Coast; the heaviest shot
stopped sixty birds, and four shots were fired.

From Shooting (Moor and Marsh) p255 (Sir Ralph
Payne-Gallwey (1886):
The sketch given on p. 256 of a shooting yacht
represents the 'Watergeuse,' a Dutch 'schokker' with lee board. She is 55
feet long, 16 feet beam, 3 feet 10 inches draught, and her crew consists
of two men and a boy. She is admirably suited for shallow waters, and is
the property of our friend Captain G. Gould, of wildfowl shooting fame,
with whom we have shared excellent sport for a number of years.
The same book contains, on page
282, an extensive account of :
EXPERIMENTS WITH SWIVEL GUNS
AS TO PATTERN
AND PENETRATION, AND NOTES ON THEIR SHOOTING,
BY
CAPTAIN GEORGE GOULD (LATE
ROYAL ENGINEERS).
Letters
to Young Shooters Third Series: Wildfowl and Wildfowl-Shooting
pp149-150 (Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey, 1896) contains more information
from George displaying his engineering background:
I have long been of opinion that the pace of
flight of many of our Wildfowl, especially that of the SURFACE-FEEDING
DUCKS has been greatly under-estimated, and that 130 to 150
miles per hour is much nearer the mark than the accepted 50 or 60. In
relation to this subject, my friend Captain G. Gould (so well known as a
wildfowl shooter), writes to me, 'I have lately made some observations on
the night of TEAL, and I consider them as accurate as
anything of the kind can be. I selected two promontories on the sea-shore
by measurement a mile apart, and I stood half-way between each. Several
small lots of TEAL passed, and I took their time on eight
occasions. The least period of flight between the two points was 20
seconds, and the longest 25 seconds, the latter giving a speed of 144
miles per hour. There was a moderate breeze against
the birds, they flew very low, they could not possibly have gone a
straighter course, and from my elevated position on land I was able to
record with great precision the time they occupied in passing from the one
point to the other.'
Note that George's scientific accuracy does not seem to have matched his
shooting accuracy. The flight speed of the teal is nowadays accepted at
about 30-40 mph, with other waterfowl being clocked at 40-60 mph (ducks.org).
On page
342, we read about the enthusiasm George had for killing waterfowl:
My friend Captain George Gould, who has killed
more wildfowl of every kind than anyone else of my acquaintance, sends me
(as given below) the weights of some of the heaviest COMMON
SNIPE he has shot in the British Islands.
Scotland, January 6, 1887.-One Snipe turned the scale at 6 oz. ...
Captain Gould also appears in Wild-fowl (1905) in the section on by
Shooting the Duck and the Goose on Continental Waters by W.H, Pope, we find
mention both of the extraordinary number of birds that George shot, as well
as the scientific value of his notes and diaries:
p225-6
No less attractive to the vast numbers of fowl
which visit the coast of Schleswig-Holstein are the extensive banks lying
off the Island of Nordstrand. Hereabouts there is not much mud, but in the
Dollart, between Groningen and East Friesland, a large amount of it
exists. The sea grass (Zostera marina),
however, does not grow either on the sand or mud in the Dollart, and
widgeon are consequently rare visitors, though wild ducks and teal are
extremely plentiful. It was here that in the autumn of 1897 Captain Gould
says he killed 951 teal in twenty three days' shooting
p228-230
The excellence of the sport which is obtainable
on these coasts with the punt-gun may be gathered from the following
details taken from Captain Gould's 'Wild Fowl Diary':-
In 1894-95 his total bag was 1,453 head, comprising: wild ducks, 52;
widgeon, 1,119; teal, 197; pintails, 29; grey geese, 38; black geese, 14;
and goosanders, 4. The four best days were from October 2 to October 6,
when he fired six shots and bagged 315 widgeon.
In 1897-98 the bag was 1,808 fowl. He was afloat on forty-three days
and fired 67 shots, the best shot being 121 widgeon, on November 4, in the
Lauwers Zee.
The following season although the total did not exceed 1,478 he
obtained some of the most remarkable shooting ever achieved with a
punt-gun. The entries in the 'Diary' read as follows:-
1898. October 11. Lauwers Zee. One shot, 149 widgeon.
" November 11. Lauwers Zee One shot, 105 widgeon
and 17 teal.
" November 29. Dollart. One shot, 132 teal.
These marvellous performances were accomplished with a gun firing 32
ounces of shot - 75 pellets to the ounce - and six ounces of powder. The
fowl were collected by himself and punter without assistance, and no birds
were counted which were not picked up on the spot and brought home in the
punt.
Shots exceeding one hundred birds are so rare that it is instructive
to learn the conditions under which they were obtained. Captain Gould
says:-
When the shot of 149 was got the widgeon were placed to perfection
on a steep sloping bank. From the lowest birds to the highest the distance
was not more than six feet. The pack, however, did not contain an
unusually large number of birds, nor were they so placed that I could fire
along the line. The other shots were taken at fowl on gently sloping
banks, but at close quarters, the range being about fifty yards.
He adds that, although he has fired each year in Holland at many
similar packs of widgeon, the shots were generally taken at ranges varying
from seventy to eighty yards. In the light of these remarks, therefore, it
would seem that close quarters and medium-sized shot constitute the recipe
for making a heavy bag of fowl.
p247-251
I have already briefly referred to the movements
of fowl during the autumn migration on the coast of Groningen and
Friesland; but the following notes, supplied to me by Captain Gould,
concerning the migration of brent and widgeon, in 1894, are so interesting
that I need make no apology in appending them for the benefit of those
fowlers who are not acquainted with these phenomena.
Parenthetically he says, prior to the date when his observations
began there had been a passage of fowl and he had shot many widgeon. The
migrations in other seasons were similar in regard to times and intensity,
but the dates varied considerably according to the direction of the wind
and other circumstances:-
HOLWERD-FRIESLAND
September
22, 1894.- At anchor off the coast in my yacht. Some small lots (10-12
each) of widgeon arrived to-day at long intervals. They began coming about
8 A.M., and the last I saw was about 5 P.M.
A few lots of brent also arrived. Wind N.N.E.
September 23.- A good many
parties of brent (15-20 each) passed to-day. The passage started soon
after daybreak, and ended about 1 P.M. No widgeon seen
passing. One lot of grey geese (21) went west. Wind N.N.E.
September 24 and 25.- A few lots
of brent passed. Wind E.
September 26.- Some large gaggles
of brent arrived to-day. No widgeon seen coming, but there are a great
many more here than yesterday. Wind S.E. last night and N.N.E. to-day. A
fresh breeze.
September 27.- Wind N.W., blowing
very hard. A few small parties of brent passed.
September 28.- Immense numbers of
brent passed to-day beginning before 7 A.M. They varied in
number from 10 to 60 or 70 in a lot, but towards evening they became
larger, and the last two gaggles which I saw pass just before 6 P.M.,
comprised about 200 birds each. Hardly any widgeon seen passing, but there
are more on the banks than yesterday. Wind N.E., fresh squally.
September 29 Passage of brent
temporarily over; not more than half a dozen lots passed. Wind E., in
morning, N.E. towards evening, and fresh.
The second large migration occurred in mid-October, and subjoined
are his observations:-
October 14, 15, and 16.- Wind
N.E., very fresh. Immense numbers of widgeon and brent passed on these
days, chiefly between 2 and 5 P.M.
October 17.- Wind changed to W.,
and flight ended.
Again, on
November 15.- I left the yacht,
which sailed to the Lauwers Zee. On the voyage my men told me that masses
of widgeon passed; but in the Lauwers Zee they were evidently out of the
'Trek,' and they do not know how long the passage lasted. None of the
widgeon, however, stopped in the Lauwers Zee.
... It is to be regretted that fowlers
as a rule do not devote more attention to the subject of migration and
record their experiences in some systematic form in their diaries For
scientific as well as sporting purposes such material would prove useful
and interesting

THE
LATE CAPT. G.T.I. GOULD
---
LORD OF THE MANOR OF UPWEY
We regret to announce the death at Weymouth on Thursday of Captain
George Thomas Ingelheim Gould, Lord of the Manor of Upwey. He was 89 years
of age. The late Captain Gould had no permanent residence in the district,
although he was the principal landowner, and his ancestors have been the
manorial lords since the 17th century. They held the Manor or tithing of
Wabeyouse, or Waybayeux or Waybayard (the latter giving the name to
Bayard's Farm). There are two other manors of Upwey - the Manor of
Stottingway, and the Manor of Elwell, or Ridgeway, of which the Earl of
Ilchester is lord.
The Upwey estate together with other properties in Dorset have been
in the family of Gould for more than 300 years. The benefactions of the
family to the parish and also to the neighbouring manor of Fleet are well
known. Among the gifts, two of the bells in the tower, together with
church plate and educational benefactions, have been presented. Captain
Gould's interest in the welfare of all his tenants was manifest, and in a
large measure the happy state of the village has been due to his
management.
Captain Gould succeeded his father, Captain Hamilton Llewellyn
Gould, an officer in the Austrian Army, in 1891. The Upwey estate was
bequeathed to his father by his cousin, Miss Catherine Barbara Jackson,
who had in turn been left it by her cousin, the Rev. George Gould.
Captain Gould served in the Royal Engineers in his younger days,
but retired from the Army at a comparatively early age. After leaving the
Army he resided for many years in Ireland and married a Miss O'Grady, of
County Cork.
After her death he lived in England and abroad from 1921. He was
very fond of sport, especially yachting and shooting. He held one or two
records for bags of geese and duck that fell to his punt gun. He travelled
extensively and spent a good deal of his life in Morocco for sport before
the country was settled and afterwards, although
advanced in years, he revisited it and motored to many places which had
been opened up to such traffic. He lived in Weymouth for three or four
years.
There are three surviving members of the family - Colonel George
Ingelheim Gould, D.S.O., the eldest son (who is at present on his way home
from India), Mr. Hubert Louis Gould (who is living in Vancouver), and Mrs.
Allen, of Hove, who married Colonel Allen, of the Indian Army (retired).
Captain Gould's second son died unmarried three of four years ago.
TENANTS AT FUNERAL
Tenants of the Manor were among those who attended the funeral at
Upwey on Monday afternoon. The Rev. J. Hingston, of All Saints,
Babbacombe, a nephew of the late Captain Gould, officiated, assisted by
the Rector of Upwey (the Rev. A. S. Bryant). A short service was conducted
in the church by the rector, with the choir in attendance. the hymn, "Let
saints on earth," and the Nunc Dimittis were sung.
The principal mourners were Colonel and Mrs. Allen (son-in-law and
daughter), the Rev. J. Hingston, Miss Hingston (niece), Mrs. Travers Smith
(niece), and Mrs. Owen Wynne. Among others present were Major and
Mrs. A. G. Symonds, Mr. Robert Hayne, Mr. H. J. Holton, Mr. J. A. Symonds,
Mr. A. J. Willis, Mr. E. W. Willis, and Mr. E. S. Rogers. There were
several beautiful floral tributes.
The funeral arrangements were carried out by Messrs. Hallett and
Son, of Weymouth, under the personal supervision of Mr. T. F. Brookman.
