Notes from Wikitree:
Profile lacks support for birth and parentage. WikiTree reports she is Judith Langley, or Judith De Langley, or Judith Marks, born at King's Langley, Hertfordshire, 2 July 1588, to a father said born, married and died at Sandy, Bedfordshire, whose other reported children were born at Sandy. Their baptisms were published as Bedfordshire [England], Frederick George Emmison, ed., Bedfordshire parish registers (Bedford, County record Office, 1931), A4-A6; digital images, InternetArchive, but no such entry appears in 1588 for Judith (see 1588 entries). For the other children, see Swithin Langley (1574); Agnes Langley (1576), Thomas Langley (1578), Millicent Langley (1580), Robert Langley (1582), John Langley (1586) and Edmond Langley (1589).

In the comments to a related G2G, another collaborator suspects she is "Judith Bigge baptised in 1589 in Abbots Langley." Such a 1589 baptismal record exists, but there is also a Judith Biggs baptized 1587 Hertford.

No contemporaneous source for marriage date and location. WikiTree reports Judith married John Gould at Bovingdon, Hertfordshire, 5 April 1603 as Judith Marks and as Judith Langley), or at Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire in 1604 (Judith De Langley).

If this couple married in 1603, it would seem noteworthy that their eldest child was baptized 1611.

Davis and Jacobus. There are two credible published accounts that identify John Gould and his wife as the parents of three New England immigrants--Nathan, Sarah and Zacheaus. While the two reports disagree about the further identity of immigrant Nathan, neither identifies a last name at birth for mother Judith.

Walter Goodwin Davis (1959) identified the wife of John Gould and mother of three immigrants as "Judith ____."'[13] Davis published an abstract of her will,[14] writing further,
... of [her] three children who came to New England before 1650, Nathan founded a family in Amesbury, the married name of Sarah is not known, and Zacheus had died unmarried.
Davis also memorialized that Horatio G. Somerby had constructed Gould pedigrees. Davis felt additional effort was required to prove Somerby's work. (Somerby is known to have fabricated some of his research. See the WikiTree page, "Horatio Gates Somerby Fraud.)
Donald Lines Jacobus (1960) also called her Judith (ie, Judith _____), who is identified as the wife of John Gould in his will of John Gould dated 30 June 1633, proved 18 July 1633.[15] Jacobus reports husband, John Gould, died at King's Landing, Hertfordshire, 1633; buried there 11 July 1633, and that she remarried as Judith Gould of "King's Langley" by license dated 27 July 1639, Simon Gould of Bovingdon.[16] According to Jacobus, Simon was a second cousin of John Gould.

Will of Judith Gould
Judith's will was dated 6 May 1650, proved 3 September 1650. As abstracted by Walter Goodwin Davis,[11]

Judith Gould of Watford, co. Hertford, made her will May 6, and it was proved Sept. 3, 1650. She left to her son Abel £400 and a little box at the house of her cousin Gase and all that was in it. To her daughters Lydia and Elizabeth, £300 each. To Hannah and Elizabeth, daughters of her daughter Hannah, £40 between them. Her son in law George Younge owed her £100 of which her executors should claim only £40. To the own children of her son Nathan in New England, £40. To the children of her daughter Sarah, £60 if her [the testatrix's] son Nathan had not divided the goods her son Zacheus left him when he died equally between him and his sister Sarah, but, if they were equally divided, then this £100 [sic] was to be equally divided for the use of their children. If her son Abel should die before coming of age, £300 should be divided between her daughter Lydia and Elizabeth, £50 given to her daughter Hannah, £20 to her daughter Marie, and £30 sent to New England to be equally divided between the own children of her son Nathan and her daughter Sarah. To Master Goodwinge, minister at Watford, £5. Residue to her executors; son Abel and daughters Lydia and Elizabeth. Witnesses: Ralph King, Thomas Barrabee.
