Apparently when Harry died most of his posessions went back to 'hisfamily'. This is why we have very little Gosnell stuff -investigate... Maybe this was his sister - something funny going onhere.

He was an only son. Could his father have still been alive (aged96!). How about cousins. Maybe his mother? (died when he was ~18)

Families

Married Wife Fox, Mabel [Mab]
  Marriage 1923-09-00  at  Liverpool

think she probably met him in India:

His sister married someone who was involved in the Indian Police, somaybe the whole family were out there.

His family were also involved in the Indian branch of the East IndiaCompany (Ralli and Mavrogordato - cousins) - Mum says. -unsubstantiated - perhaps confused with Ralli Bros.
