He left for the USA c1812 and his Son James Henry Gome 1801-1893 looked after his mother until she died in 1817. She is buried in the Interdenominational Cemetery in Whitechapel. James lived in Gillingham until 1848 when together with his Wife SArah and their eight children left for South Australia settling here in Adelaide. Christopher Gome married in Philadelphia Pennsylvania to an American Woman had three more children and is buried in the Oldfellows Cemetery in Philadelphia. James died in 1893 and is buried in the Campbelltown cemetery near my home. Any information gratefully received phone is 610424013340 Email bobchappell1@hotmail.com
