The Child Who Died in the Fire (surname GOOCH)

[Spidermonkey]

Edwin M Gooch mar 1918 to Florence White, so we can assume he survived!

Violet P Gooch mar Mario I Cerutti in 1917

James Victor Gooch died in 1977 Liverpool

possibly dispatching Vera Teresa marrying in Liverpool in 1928 to O'Hara and Gladys May as well (if she married in Liverpool too?)

bit stuck on Aline Rachel...

I wonder if it was definitely this generation and possible a grandchild of Margaret & Robert?

Well it looks as if Walter Sidney died in Liverpool as well (1975), so I wonder if the family moved up there.

Possible for Ethel M Gooch marrying in Liverpool in 1927.

As you say Ruth, perhaps it was one of the grandchildren of Robert and Margaret.  Or perhaps it was Lilian, but she survived the fire and later died.  Perhaps her lungs were damaged by smoke and so she was never strong etc?

its possible - if the children from Robert & Margaret can already be accounted for then it could be another generation.   

But Lilian may not have been strong enough if she inhaled smoke - on looking further into it, syncope can come about due to smoke inhalation/reduced lung function so its possible, but just possible with no further proof that Lilian was the one caught in the fire.

And syncope is not fun - I had it when I was pregnant with my son and on my bad days I was fainting upto 8 times a day!

Think Margaret Florence Gooch can be accounted for with a marriage in 1916 to Herbert Knight, so that's another one off the list!

bit stuck on Aline Rachel...

Wonder if Aline is actually Eileen R Gooch mar James Gorst in Liverpool in 1937?

Added: got a match on an Eileen Rachel Gorst bn 1902 dying in Crosby 1970

[rutht22000]

Yep that looks like it could be Aline/Eileen

i think they are nearly accounted for and I can't find any more children born after Lilian

[Spidermonkey]

Yup, just Charles William Gooch bn 1890 to find now.
