I know this is nothing to do with Gustavus, but I'm hooked!
Re the possible 1861 marriage -
I can't find a Phoebe Snider anywhere in 1861.
But there's this Phoebe (maybe nothing to do with the Coyne story):

And many other reports. In a couple of them he's listed as Hal Gustavus.
So he does seem to have been with his parents, at least from 1889 onwards.
1891 - Henry and son Harry are together (already posted), but no sign of Gustavus.
This might be Bertha in 1891, again claiming US birth (New Jersey) - but Gustavus isn't with her either:

Perhaps Gustavus was in Ireland in 1891 - maybe at school, or with Coyne relatives.
But where is he in 1901 and particularly 1911 after his marriage??
Re New Jersey - Bertha's brother Thomas and her sister Josephine both emigrated to the US, and lived in New Jersey

To all who have posted since I last replied . I am so sorry not to have responded but I have been at the hospital with my father who has just passed away. So thank you all so very much for your time and effort and when things are sorted I will come back and look at your replies and respond.
Thank you again

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. xx

Very sorry to hear of your father's death, Christine.

I am just revisiting this thread to thank the very kind people who spent their time and effort in helping me find information about Gustavus. You are all very much appreciated!
He certainly had an interesting family (!) and I will try and summarise that in the Remembrance book I am putting together. which I am now way behind with due to family circumstances.
I still have 2/3 names I am a bit stuck with so I am drawing a line under Gustavus and will post the others if I can't get any further with them.
Once again, many thanks
Christine
