Hi Dave, I've no relation to the Gosling ancestor you describe here, but I thought I might be able to help.

The address you've provided sounds like it is from the City of Strathcona (not to be confused with the present-day County of Strathcona). The City of Strathcona was incorporated into the City of Edmonton in 1912. I checked in the City of Edmonton Henderson Directories, and there is indeed a Sydney C Gosling, city claim agent, residing at the listed address from 1921.

The City of Edmonton Henderson Directories are available online as part of the Peel Prairie Provinces collection found here:

In the later years, there is a wife named Clara listed in the directory.

There is also a mention of Clara May Gosling here:

I also found an entry in this index:

I sometimes go to Edmonton for research, and could obtain the newspaper microfilm printouts next time I go if you'd like.
