When and where was your John G Gosling born??

I'm not seeing probates for the 2 deaths you mention.

Probates give the date of death but no age, as Prickles says above - tell us when he was born and what was the last known sighting of him.

Would probably have made more sense if you'd looked the deaths up first to get the ages.

Here's the probate for the 1958 death:

Death Date: 6 Jan 1958
Death Place: Cheshire, England
