Hi Lynda, You are a marvel. You have broken my brickwall. As with all
threads, answers bring queries. I have also been searching for John Charles
GOSS known as "Charlie" who emigrated with his uncle Joseph to USA. John
Charles GOSS was b 15 May 1848, in Barnstaple, DEV. The answer you have
provided has clarified two enigmas. I now believe "Charles GS U " is the
missing one and it seems possible that he could have emigrated with his
uncle, Joseph, b 1838 from this family. Please send any more GOSS links from
this area that you have. I am particularly interested in John Charles GOSS,
a mariner, who could have been lost at sea prior to the birth of John b 1848
and his wife?? Susannah RIDD, m ca ca 1846. I have yet to find any other
children from this union but if John drowned prior to 1848, any additional
offspring would be born prior to that date. I look forward to any further
help. Regards, Merv Goss NZ.
