Potential secondary sources

Riley, William, & Henry Dethick, The visitation of Middlesex, began in the year 1663 (London, 1820), p. 9
- Pedigree of 'Gomeldon, of Chiswick'
- Shows William Gomeldon of Porton, Wiltshire, with unidentified wife, having tow sons, Roger Gomeldon of London, merchant, the second son, and William Gomeldon of Porton, Wiltshire (presumably the eldest son). Roger, by Joice of XXXX Wilcotts of Watten, Warwickshire, had two sons, Richrad Gomeldon of London, merchant, the second son, and William Gomeldson of Chiswick, Middlesex (presumably the eldest son), who married Elizabeth, daughter of Cavendish Saunders of Gray's Inn, Esq. This William appears to be the subject of the 1663 pedigree, and may be the William Gomeldon of C10/58/29 f. 1.
