Other questions to pose -

Where does the GOSS come from ? GOSS is typically a surname found on the east side of the River Severn rather than in the Forest.

Did the family "dabble" with Baptist non-conformity ? perhaps this is why some records are apparently missing.

Who is the "not named" child buried in 1837 ? one of the "missing" children from 1841 ?

Is it GOSS anyway ? Is it a transcription of COSS, COFF, CORS, COFS, CROSS etc ?
