Cherie No Colin Goslin on the electoral register 20 under colin Gosling. I'd need an area to narrow it down tho. Zoe

My grandfather tried to cut himself off from his family and swapped his middle name with his first name on official records so he was born Ebenezer Edward and Died Edward ebenezer, Just a thought. also have you tried 1837 online Linda P

Thanks for your time in looking zoe, it may have been put under the name of gosling, but we were only known as goslin, anyway both my parents were born in the plymouth area if this helps at all. thanks again cherie
