Its a very unusual name. I wold have thought the ID card is probably something to do with the war or evacuation. Is Gosnell his birth name?



His birth is in the bmd index - have you seen that? He could buy the certificate for £7 from GRO online. The mothers maiden name is given as Pittson. Use the ref below for the cert.

1939 March quarter Gosnell Benjamin S mmn Pittson
Shoreditch 1c 86
