I've been been searching for two daughters and found one today only her name is Eveline Wildgoose "Caldwell" not "DeCosta".

"DeCoster" was the previous married name of one of her sisters, May Frost Wildgoose Gerhard. May had one son, Joseph DeCoster. While May's obit mentions her son, it does not mention a previous husband (only surviving husband Paul Gerhard) so it's possible May was divorced not widowed. The obit of May's son makes no mention of his mother.

I found information on Elizabeth Leake's husband (he died 1920) and her son (he died at age 16 in 1923).

At some time during his married life in Derbyshire, [1869 - 1880] JOSEPH WILDGOOSE ran the CRISPIN INN in Longstone. His granddaughter Elizabeth's travel/diary memoir states "Mother said he sold the inn because he lost money, being too generous with his guests.

Today, the CRISPIN INN still stands in what is now Great Longstone which is an old, pretty, Derbyshire and Peak District village. It is situated 2 miles north of Bakewell, lying under Longstone Edge, a ridge 5 miles long and rising to 1300 feet at Bleak Low from which, there are some fine views over Derbyshire.

Great Longstone village has some good 18th-century cottages, a hall, a school, and a public house. On the village green, there is a medieval market cross. Markets were held here to sell local produce and an annual fair took place during Wakes Week.

The CRISPIN INN, named after the patron saint of shoemakers, provides a reminder of the village trade. In the village square a large cross dates back to a time when Flemish weavers settled in this part of Derbyshire and established a stocking industry. There was also a shoe industry here, remembered in the name of the local pub, the CRISPIN INN, Crispin being the patron saint of cobblers. Its wealth is based on the lead mined from Longstone Edge.

Until recently it was still being mined for fluorspar, a mineral the lead miners rejected as waste. The Church of St Giles dates back to the 13th century with well-preserved registers dating from 1638. The lower part of the tower and south doorway are 13th century, the priests' doorway and nave arcades being 14th century. There are Perp battlements and pinnacles, a Perp clerestory, and other windows. The chief pride of the church is the Perp woodwork, the splendid roofs with finely molded beams, embattled cornices, and bosses of flowers and foliage.
