I'm a bit mystified by this, three siblings all married but only one child doesn't seem quite right somehow. Either i'm missing deaths of spouses and 2nd marriages or i'm just finding the end of a family.
The three sibs were all born in Liverpool and the family moved to Sheffield by 1901.
Joseph Crooks Goulson, b1877.
Marriages Jun 1909 (>99%)
----------------------------
GOULSON Joseph Crooks Sheffield 9c 1040
MASON Annie Sheffield 9c 1040
STEEN Charles Sheffield 9c 1040
WALTON Harriet Sheffield 9c 1040
I can't find a likely match in the 1911 to decide which wife and there isn't an obvious birth under either mmn. No re-marriage or death record for JCG and no entries at all in the surname on CWGC.
Nelly Edith Goulson, b1880
She appears in Sheffield in 1901 and 1911, next appearance is
Marriages Jun 1915 (>99%)
-----------------------------
Clarke Samuel Goulson Sheffield 9c 1377
Goulson Nellie E Clarke Sheffield 9c 1377
No kids in the bmd using mmn and no obvious matching bmd entries for Nelly and Samuel.
Benjamin Goulson b 1883.
Marriages Sep 1907 (>99%)
---------------------------------------
GOULSON Benjamin Ecclesall B. 9c 806
HIBBARD Alice Ecclesall B. 9c 806
LILLEYMAN Lydia Ecclesall B. 9c 806
PARKINSON Harry Graham Ecclesall B. 9c 806
1911 shows Benjamin in Sheffield and also an Alice Goulson, also noted is a one year old child called Ben. I'm guessing that this is a family group as the Ancestry phone books show two Benjamin/Ben Goulson entries in Sheffield over many years.
So just what happened with Joseph and Nelly? Have i just found childless folks in my tree?
