Gossling/ gosling in Doncaster

[jonw65]

Wartime?

Absolutely. Still a bit weird though. Only three marriages that quarter at St Jude's, Hexthorpe, and two of them with a groom called Gossling (or Gosling!)

[jonw65]

they had a son Roy L G Gossling born and died 1943

Roy's birth also registered in Doncaster, March 1943

Death, same quarter

Another newspaper announcement (and another free ocr text to deal with!)
Eastbourne Herald, 18 November 1944
GOSLING.—On November 13, 1944, of 4 York-road, Dorothy, beloved wife of Driver Gosling, and treasured daughter of Charles and Dorothy Humphrey, all of whom wish to thank friends and neighbours for kindness and floral tributes.

How do you come to that conclusion. They didn't marry until 1946.

Dorothy is clearway described as beloved wife of Driver Gosling when she died in 1944, which doesn;t suggest he has another woman in his life

From other info, maybe not the same John G Gosling at all

1939 register that John is a coal hewer father John, Mother Mary, living Aberdare Glamorgan. 1921 free index with same family down as Granville.

Not sure if same man who married Dorothy as he was a band crooner and boxer?

If the 1943 marriage cert shows him as John Granville Gosling - then band crooner/boxer or not he is the one who married Dorothy & is on the 1921 census plus 1939 register.  I suspect the marriage cert will show him as a soldier or similar.

The 2003 death in my first reply is undoubtedly his

Veronica Ayling was b 1924 - birth registered Prescot is in keeping with the 1946 St Helens marriage
