I've found two younger sisters for John Goss Snr. So here's all the siblings together.
John W Goss mmn Mallon. B: March Qtr 1920 Liverpool
C. G. mmn Mallon. B: Dec 1921 Liverpool
M. A. G. mmn Mallon. B: Dec 1922 Liverpool
C. G. married J. D. Sept Qtr of 1943. Liverpool
M. A. G. married B. H. G. Sept Qtr 1943. Liverpool
Double wedding, maybe?
EDIT: Names removed in case still living.

I need to go out, but when I get home tonight I'll look for any siblings of John Goss Snr.
I wish I didn't have this appointment, hate leaving my laptop when we're onto something!
Be back later

Thanks for this info. Although, my main aim is to find John Goss's sons A & J. Goss, this information might lead me to siblings of John Goss & his wife family & they might be in touch with the boys.
I know Canada has strict privacy regulations on records, so unless they pop up in the media it's going to be hard to trace them unless they have family here that might know their whereabouts.
Thanks for this, I'll search for siblings of John & his wife, they might know details about the boys, now men!
Sandra, just seen your other post: The story about the boys being brought up by relatives was something that I remember being told by my uncle, who was their father's best friend. The boys stayed on in Canada & were brought up by John's wife's sister, is how I remember the story being told.
I do believe this because I remember in the late 70s early 80s one of the sons, don't know which one, came to Liverpool & went to the Lucas factory here in Liverpool to find his father's best friend - my uncle. My uncle & John Goss Snr, were very close & both worked as engineers at Lucas for many years together.

I can't believe we found what we have found so far, Thank you so much.
The marriage of John W Goss to Agnes E McDowall has to be the correct marriage in 1941.
There is one other Liverpool 1944 marriage of a John H Goss to - spouse's surname is Halewood, but I can't find a Liverpool birth for Halewood. So I doubt that would be the correct marriage, John's second initial doesn't fit.
I've looked for births of siblings & can find only 2 brothers, can't see any sisters! So maybe it was Agnes's 'brother' & his wife who brought up their sons. All a bit vague, because one of the articles says their 17-year old son was staying with 'friends' of the family on Eighth Street, Long Branch in Toronto, while finishing his education. Maybe 'friends' were actually 'family' on Eighth St ?
If so, we are be looking for the name McDowall
The brothers I've found are;
J**** McD***** born 1920 Liverpool
W****** McD***** born 1924 Liverpool
They could still be living so can't put full names on here, but J & W are very common first names.

RunKitty & Keyboard86. . . . I can't thank you both enough!
I didn't think I had enough information to find them & I had no idea that they had moved from Canada to the US & were killed in NJ.
It looks very likely that John's wife was Agnes McDowall, which means her sister's maiden name was the same.
I'll look for a marriage for her sister. Although, it's quite possible that her sister will have died by now.
Her two sons may be easier to find if they stayed in Toronto. It depends if they kept the name Goss or were officially adopted by their aunt & uncle & used their surname. So I need to find their surname.
I am so grateful for this help, thank you ! I am so excited!
