Welcome to the Gosling & Simmonds Family Website. It has been put together to record and share the family history relating to myself Andrew Gosling. Contributions to this research has come not only from interviewing family members but also from a variety of other sources.

Information Required: Areley Court

Asaph Simmonds worked as a Domestic Coachman at Areley Court, Areley Kings, Stourport around 1905. He was in the employ of Edward A. Broome a worsted manufacturer for the carpet industry. We would welcome information about this house or its owners.

Information Required: Heather Gosling

We know from family members that Walter Morgan Gosling married and had 2 children, Harold & Heather, but we have been unable to find any futher information. If anybody has any information then it would be much appreciated.

The Gosling side of the family can be traced back to Thomas Gosling Snr who was born in the late 1700s although at the moment we know little about him. However, we do know that Thomas Gosling Jnr was born in Somerset and that the family stayed around that area until Sidney George Gosling moved to Walsall in the West Midlands where he worked at the Walsall Lithographic Company. Mabel Gosling (daughter of George Morgan Gosling) emigrated to Canada after she married George Hawke Hiffernan, a Canadian serviceman who she nursed at the Beaufont Hospital in Bristol where she worked as a Red Cross nurse during World War One.

The Simmonds side of the family can be traced back to Jonathan Simmonds who was born in Suffolk in 1781. The family stayed around the Suffolk area until around 1905 when Asaph Simmonds moved to Areley Kings in Worcestershire to work as a Domestic Coachman for E.A. Broome at Areley Court. Pelham Robert Simmonds moved to Areley Kings with his father Asaph and later he lived in Stourport-on-Severn where he had his own shoe repair business.
