There are some records for St. Vincent on Familysearch. Couldn't find your William Gough though. There was one in 1751, St. Lucy, Barbados, Caribbean.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Perhaps his father was in the Army? Someone on here (sorry, I haven't got a subscription) may be able to look up his birth in the Regimental Indexes on findmypast, although they aren't complete.

Do you have William Goughs marriage cert? Or perhaps he married before 1837? Hopefully you can get his fathers name from this, and if the married after 1837, his fathers occupation.

sorry the only cert i have(marriage) is his daughters mary ann gough b 1838 bingham notts, and states william gough as her father i think her mother could be called ann but no other info, as they had another son alfred b abt 1833 so they must of got married before that.
