According to a letter written by my grandfather, Frederick Charles in the 1950s, Harry G committed suicide, but I'll need to (and will) obtain a copy of the death certificate to be sure. Constance Anne died of cancer in Sep 1914 (Cuckfield 2b 179) - age 50. Both graves can be found in the cemetery in Lindfield, Sussex.

Narrative

mentioned in 1901 census - in Eastbourne?

Samantha Drage says:

"In relation to information that I have on the Gosnells, my grandfather, in his letter of the 1950s detailing some of the family history, wrote that Constance Alice's siblings did not manage to reach old age, with most dying before the age of 60 - rheumatism and heart trouble. The whole family was musical with Constance being an accomplished pianist. Her younger brother (Percy C?) had a magnificent baritone voice and his son again (Ralph/Vivian??) became a Lieder singer who would probably have become well known had he not suffered from a nervous breakdown. Apparently Charles Augustus married a Dutch barmaid (Pauline B?) that he met on one of his travels - although the marriage was a success, there were no children. He also mentions that C A was amongst the first to take up publicity on a large scale with the "Cherry Blossom" coach. In the 1950s my grandfather believed the Gosnell "grandchildren" were all boys, with one in Finland in the Baltic trade. "
