There is no Marriage date that i can give to show Priscilla Gosse married John Noseworthy,My Grandfather passed down information. I also have date of Sarah Noseworthy 1840 08 08 born to John Noseworthy and Priscilla Gosse Baptised 1842 11 27 Holy Redeemer Anglican Church.

Also Evident a marriage of John Noseworthy Widower married Sarah Voque. 3 june 1845.Believe Voque should be Vokey. The marriage of John and Priscilla is not an error. Sarah Noseworthy is buried in toronto 1917. with her husband William Pike.Sarah was an only child.

Gosse-167 and Gosse-111 appear to represent the same person because: Same age, same husband, same daughter.
