Ah I see...thanks Ray and have a safe drive! You've got solid Cheshire roots then. I guess as this thread confirms I can go no further back with the Gosling line for now. It starts with William and Alice and for me ends in Anglesey. I haven't found any Scottish ancestry either but I'm sure it's on my mother's side Gosling/Leech as my late father's family goes back generations in one Anglesey parish. 

All the best.

Thanks Ray, much appreciated. Noted you're in Scotland which reminded me of another mystery when my DNA revealed I'm 3.6% Scottish, Aberdeenshire!  :)

All the best

Hi Ray T,

Apologies it's been some time but I'd like to thank you for this bit of info " Interesting to know that William lived on Chapel Street in 1851. I used to live just round the corner on Wesley Street!"

This helped me confirm where Chapel Street was as I've been collating location pictures/maps recently.

It was my attention to visit some of the Gosling locations when I return to the UK but unfortunately due to current travel restrictions I haven't been able to get back for 2 years.

Anyhow it's been good to re-visit the research over the last few days and continue to puzzle about the known facts and theories.  All the best. MBP

Thank you Manchester Rambler. That is a fantastic website/piece of research and has provided me with lots of clarification, some fascinating facts and lots to study this weekend! My mother is going to be over the moon with this additional info as the Goslings are by far her favourite part of my own family research. My mother is the only daughter of Elsie Grace Gosling and Samuel Alfred Leech. Her grandparent being Alfred Sidney Gosling.  All the best for the weekend MBP

Hi, William Gosling did indeed move to "rural Cheshire" with his wife Alice and became a beer seller. Alice continue the business in Broom Edge for a number of years after William's death. Their son John Gosling (by coincidence also married an Alice) was a Police Officer at Wharton before he moved the family to Stockton Heath, Warrington where they added a son to the family my G grandfather.

I’ve received the 1846 marriage cert for William Gosling and Alice Johnson but unfortunately no parents are named. Seems odd as William and Alice Gosling (nee Johnson) were living with Alice’s parents ( Thomas and Alice Johnson ) on the 1851 census at Chapel Street, Handforth Cum Bosden.  Not sure why they weren’t mentioned on the marriage cert.     
So, back to William. I’m more or less certain from all the census records he was born in 1826 +/- 1 year in Macclesfield . That leaves two records to my knowledge at this point:
1841  - Crompton Road Prestbury / William Gosling age 15  loom ????  turner  /  parents George and Hannah
1841 – Duke Street Prestbury / William Gosling age 15 Silk Piecer  / parents Mary and Moses
Thanks Alan for the list of birth/baptisms from the Macclesfield area much appreciated as the search goes on.   :)  All the best

Hi, Thanks for the info. Appears we're looking at the same William Gosling on the 1851 census. Married to Alice with children named Emma, Jane and John Gosling. Living with Alice Johnson's parents. I'm hoping the marriage cert provides a father's name. I was thinking his parents were George and Hannah on the 1841 census both Silk Weaver's. William age 15 along with his siblings were working as silk piecers or  loom turners on 1841 census. Address Crompton Road. But that's a best assumption and I could have the wrong William on the 1841 census. As you say the marriage cert is needed and I'll drop a comment when received. All the best

Hi, Picked up on your posts while researching my mother's family from Warrington. My great grandfather is Alfred Sidney Gosling b.1881. This father is John Gosling b.1851 to William and Alice Gosling. William Gosling born was b.1826 and married Alice Johnson in 1846. Seems we're researching the same roots.  The 1841 census has William Gosling as a 15 year old at Crompton Road Prestbury. Mother and father are shown as George and Hannah Gosling. Research ongoing......Cheers
