  • Notes  Married:
    • Witnesses were Lorrie's father Henry and her sister Elsie Baker. ( It's bears noting that Leonard's name on the marriage certificate is "Frederick Leonard." He took his brother's name after Frederick was killed fighting in the Boer War.) Leonard and Lorrie's first two children were born and baptized in Hoggeston

    Residence:
    • That's where their first two children were born. Lorrie and the children continued to live at Blake House while Leonard served in WWII. Edward Lambert Gosling was a stock broker, single in 1911, with quite a large staff of servants and grooms. In 1911, Leonard's step brother Arthur John Turner was living with them. He was a soldier - Light Infantry Oxon & Bucks and fought in WWI
    • The pub/inn also had a very nice stable. Whaddon is a village about 5 miles north of Winslow, where their third child was born in 1927.
