The bakery in Town lane in Mobberley is still referred to as Goostrey's although it is no longer in the family that until recently still lived on the site of the old bakery at the junction of Hall Lane and Newton Hall Lane.
In 1911 there were two different Goostrey families in three households although they may be linked further back. A family on Pavement Lane Farm, now converted into four domestic residences but still a dairy farm into the 1990s, was descended from Joseph and Mary both born around 1816 and living in Knolls Green in 1841. Their son Robert married Elizabeth Hewitt in 1857 and their son John married Alice Brannan from Carlisle. John and Alice lived in Newton Hall Lane (1891) then Baguley Green and returned to Pavement Lane Farm by 1911 with their three sons Robert, Herbert and John. Robert and Herbert served in the Great War.
The other Goostreys descend from Isaac (born in 1806)and Hannah (Adamson). They lived in Moss Lane. One of their sons, James, married Martha Hobson in 1856. Their son Peter born in 1859 married Annie from Sproston but moved back to Mobberley where in 1901 and 1911 they were in Knolls Green.
Another son Herbert Ernest, born in 1865 in Great Warford where James and Martha lived in 1871, married Jane and lived in Newton Hall Lane. They had six children three of whom served in the Great War. Herbert Victor is the Grandfather and Great Grandfather of the family still living until recently at the old bakery. James Ernest and Percy W were the other two who survived the war. Herbert Victor married Mabel Walkden in 1923. Marjorie, and Leslie who died in 2005 were their children. James Ernest married Renie Clarkson in 1923. Percy married Margaret Bradshaw Mallon in 1928.
