The Gosenoll Family

Descendents of this family started to spell their name as Gosnold.


Anne Gosenoll

Father: John Gosenoll

Married: to Thomas Cadye, of Ipswich.

Notes: Thomas's surname is spelled Cadye in the Visitation of 1561, but corrected to Cady in the Blois MSS.

Edmond Gosenoll

Father: John Gosenoll

Notes: Edmond's name is Edmond in the Visitation, but the Blois MSS records him as Edward or Edwan (it is difficult to decipher). The British Museum Add MSS 19133 (author and date unknown) lists him as Edward or Edmund, but this manuscript is believed to be derived from the Blois MSS and thus doesn't add any further weight.

John Gosenoll

of Otley, Suffolk, England

Children:

Notes: John lived in Netherhall Manor, in Otley, Suffolk, about 8 miles north of Ipswich. He obtained possession of this manor following the death of the previous owner William Cressener in 1454.

On his death, John left properties at Otley and at Clopton.This connection with Clopton implies a kinship with a Thomas Gosenell, of Clopton, whose will is dated 20 December 1464, and was probated 9 February 1465. This will mentions Thomas's wife Isabell, and a son William. Possibly, John and Thomas were brothers.
