He was born in Uxbridge, Ontario in 1839, the son of Joseph Gould who was a member of the assembly for the Province of Canada. In 1862, he married Rebecca Chapman. He owned gristmills and woollen mills and also took part in the lumber trade and banking. He also served as reeve for Uxbridge and was warden for Ontario County in 1883. Gould was elected by acclamation to the House of Commons in 1900 after the death of James David Edgar and reelected in the general election that followed later that year.
