I don't know if this will help, but lately i've been doing some digging researching the history of Guelph Ontario (Canada), I learned that in the early to mid 19th century a group of Scotts were sent to settle in Venezuela. Most returned because of the poor farming land and where re-directed to Guelph in the north. I found nothing to indicate directly that the Goldies were part of this group of Scotts, but the number of immigrants to Guelph at this time was not high and it was the same time that the Goldie family, native of Ayrshire, Scotland did arrive in Guelph with strong local and political influence
