Could be just a co-incidence of name and location, but possibly someone related to these Gaults in this WW2 photo (2nd photo down, under 'Members of the 6th Light Anti-Aircraft Battery'):

Thanks everybody for the help!

This has given me more information that I anticipated!!

I think these children Isabella Gault seemed to have with no father listed were either born to her future husband David McCloskey, or they at least adopted the McCloskey surname because a lot of the names ring a bell! Just need to check them with the information I have already!!

Thanks again,

Ben
