Gou and Yang

[Shi-Potian]

Never really crossed my mind untill lately but did Jinyong mean for Gou Jing to be taken as a descendant of the Tang Dynasty generals the Gou jia, & Yang Gou as a descendant of the Yang jia Generals of the Song dynasty?

well, if it helps here's a piece of translation of ROCH on Wuxiapedia:

Qu San replied: “Hmph! Why should I be worried about you two leaking this secret? I know all about you two and your backgrounds; why else would I let you two leave here alive? Brother Guo, you are the descendant of Guo Sheng, one of the heroes of the Water Margins of Mount Liang. You use the halberd skill that is taught in your family, only the halberd is short instead of long, and has two blades instead of one. Brother Yang, you ancestor is Yang Zaixin, one of the generals who served under the beloved General Yue. You two are descendants of two patriotic heroes. When the Jin army conquered the North; you two began wondering the martial world and became martial brothers. And then the two of you moved to Ox Village together. Am I right so far?”

To Shi-Potian,

I hope you mean Guo [郭] because Gou means dog [狗]. If you are meaning to insult Guo Jing in any form, mean, or way, Ken Cheng, our moddie, will get REALLY mad.
