According to the will of this Robert Gostwicke:


Robert Gostwick b.n/r died 1562
(m) lst. Anne Wilsheire b.n/r d: n.r
(m) 2nd. Alice (?) Russell (widow of Thomas Russell)
    children by Anne Wilsheire

1. William Gostwick born after 1546 (he is not mentioned in Aunt Elizabeth Gostwicks will)
2. Abraham Gostwick born after 1546 (not mentioned in Aunt Elizabeth Gostwicks will)
3. Anne Gostwick born after 1546 (not mentioned in Aunt Elizabets Gostwicks will)

Robert Gostwicks Brother: Edmond Gostwicks two sons & two daughters.
In 1546 Edmond Gostwick has a son John and a daughter Alice Gostwick, so another son and daughter was born to Edmond Gostwick after 1546.    (check the Bedford England Early births)
 

Robert Gostwick mentions his deceased BROTHER EDWARD GOSTWICK, and Edwards, son William and William's 3 sisters.

In 1546, Elizabeth Gostwick mentions brother Edwards children as: Agnes, Jane and Alice, so the son William Gostwick was born after 1546.

It has been written in the Gostwick history that William (son of Robert) died in prison in 1574.  The Will of William Gostwick who died in prison in 1574 states he was of "Late of Ware, Hertford Co.".  Robert Gostwick's will shows he is of Bedford Co.
