Gosse was a cousin to Sir James Hay Gosse, an Australian businessman [1]. He is also distantly related to Alexander Downer. Is this important enough to put in this article? Ozdaren 11:19, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Gosse was also closely tied to figures such as Algernon Charles Swinburne, John Addington Symonds, and André Gide.
I think Philip Henry Gosse's affiliation with the Plymouth Brethren is a bit overstated here. According to the ODNB, Gosse joined the Brethren in 1843, but after he had moved to St Marychurch in 1857 he established a completely independent chapel without any connection to the Brethren. This is confirmed by Edmund Gosse himself, who writes in his father's biography, The Naturalist of the Sea-shore, p. 330:
Since Edmund Gosse was born in 1849, the "Plymouth Brethren" part of his upbringing ended when he was eight or nine years old. – Schneid9 ( talk) 19:27, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
