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.

Can only see 1 marriage of a McDowall to a Thrussell - Andrew McDowall - Agnes Thrussell - June 1903 - Greenwich - 1d 1804
If this was the correct marriage there could be other children born before the mothers maiden name was recorded - 1903 - 1910
Can't give the info but they do have 3 children by the time the 1911 UK census was taken.

Andrew McDowell aged 24 years, bachelor, labourer, father Andrew McDowall, Foreman Platelayer. Married Agnes Thrussell aged 19 years, spinster. Father Amos Thrussell - Travelling Foreman.
Christ Church Greenwich - 2 May 1903 - Witnesses Thomas Henry Thrussell and Florence Pike.

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
