I realize that this is an old thread but I'll reply anyway. John W Goss was my Mum's cousin (although I think there wan't much contact). John W was definitely the son of John James Doran Goss & Margaret Mallon.
There is a New York State arrival for John's youngest brother - J P. (born 1929 issued April 1960, obviously, and sadly, flying out for the funeral & staying at Main St. Linden, New Jersey, where the burial took place.
Hi, thank you so very much for this information & the link to the accident report in the newspaper.
It is still very sad reading after all these years.
I am the niece of John Welsby (deceased), who was John Goss's best friend. They worked at the Lucas factory together in Liverpool for many years before the Goss family went to Canada & then onto America.
I have photos, info & memories to share.
I remember one of John Goss' sons (I assume it would be his eldest, J.) came to England in the late 1970s. He made a special journey up to the Lucas factory to find my uncle. What a surprise my uncle got - he was overwhelmed!
I would love to contact either of the Goss sons, (J & A). I believe they stayed on in Canada with relatives. Do you have any contact details for them that you would share? Or perhaps if you could send them my details & ask them to contact me?
I do have two other newspaper cuttings, but I did not have this one that you have given to me. Thank you so much.
Any further information you can tell me will be very much appreciated.
Thank you again,
Monica, Lancashire.
