Our Roger would be 26 on nominal census day (1/6/1900), but the pob of himself and his parents doesn't match and his b'day was Jun 1873 not Jan 1874.
He's living in a rooming house in Duluth Minn, and his landlord may have just guessed, or it might not be our Roger.
I didn't find any Roger Gask* in 1891 Canada (and US 1890 was 99.9% destroyed by fire).

You are right. Apologies I did type son of William when I meant Roger.

William's is posted above (Gulielmus)

Here's Margaret's:

Margarita Gascal
in the Liverpool, England, Catholic Baptisms, 1802-1906
Name: Margarita Gascal
Birth Date: 10 Oct 1877
Baptism Date: 23 Oct 1877
Parish: Our Lady of Reconciliation de La Salette, Lancashire, England
Father's name: Richer Gascal
Mother's name: Margarita Farley


I'll PM you the images.

Hi can you save me the images also the ones for William Gaskell 1876 and Margaret 1878..I don't know what is going on with this woman having children all the time and packing the poor things off..you could be on to something...maybe she did meet another man and went to the USA using his surname..the man I am helping said his Great Grandfather James Gosling one of Margaret's first brood said his mother wrote to him from America saying she had married well and she had money for him he told her where to go.....

William's baptism per Ancestry, as you requested:

Gulielmus Gaskell
in the Liverpool, England, Catholic Baptisms, 1802-1906
Name: Gulielmus Gaskell
Birth Date: 22 May 1876
Baptism Date: 10 Apr 1877
Parish: Our Lady of Reconciliation de La Salette, Lancashire, England
Father's name: Rodger Gaskell
Mother's name: Margaritar Arley


Image has Margaret's maiden surname as Farly or something that might be Gosling. As Ann said, it's hard to read.

Roger's baptism - the one you have, Colette. I think Ann maybe typed William by mistake?

Rogerius Gaskell
in the Liverpool, England, Catholic Baptisms, 1802-1906
Name: Rogerius Gaskell
Birth Date: 5 Jun 1873
Baptism Date: 3 Mar 1881
Parish: Our Lady of Reconciliation de La Salette, Lancashire, England
Father's name: Rogeriii Gaskell
Mother's name: Margarietae Farley


However, there's also this version, giving Ms Farley's first name as Mary or Maria.

Both are correct per the images on Ancestry.

Rogerius Gaskell
in the Liverpool, England, Catholic Baptisms, 1802-1906
Name: Rogerius Gaskell
Birth Date: 5 Jun 1873
Baptism Date: 3 Mar 1881
Parish: Our Lady of Reconciliation de La Salette, Lancashire, England
Father's name: Rogerii Gaskell
Mother's name: Mariae Farley

Aha !! (Maybe?!)

Roger Gaskell, age 11, and Wm Gaskill, age 10, going to Quebec along with large numbers of other children - Barnardo's children, maybe?? Did Margaret abandon her second family as well?

There's also an Elizabeth Gaskell, age 12 - maybe not related.

Lancashire Ann thank you for those baptisms...I have the baptism of FMP for Roger born 1873 in Birkenhead son of Roger & Margaret.. who's this William..I have 11th July baptised St James Birkenhead 1873...seen as though Margaret lived in Birkenhead I thought this Roger was hers...how many Rogers are there with parents Roger and Margaret Farley Farrelly...Gosling haaaaaaaaaaaaahe ...Ann are these on Ancestry I only have essentials if so can you send me the originals....I have Ellens Baptism..that one I don't need.

Thank Ann

Colette

Maybe she went back to Ireland after Roger's death, taking the children with her.

I can't see any of them in any censuses after 1881.

I had wondered if Margaret had remarried (or re-cohabited) - but can't see Roger junior with any other surname.

Yes that's her.............this is all new info for us..as she was surposed to have got off to America and abandoned her Gosling kids..in the 1870s instead we find her having met another man Roger Gaskell and having three more kids..

Colette

Hiya I don't think they married Margaret had been married before in Birkenhead to a Michael Gosling he died 1870 they had four children all born Tranmere I think she met this Roger Gaskell c 1871 they had their first son Roger in Birkenhead then moved to Liverpool..she had two more children with him William & Margaret then he died in 1880..meanwhile three of her Gosling children had been put into homes in Liverpool..the youngest named Andrew Gosling died at 3 Oliver St Liverpool in 1875 death cert says son of Michael Gosling..informant Margaret Gaskell...I was wanting to see if her son William Gaskell born 1876 had the same address..

Cheers Colette
