    These came from a large bush on the side of our house, are they gooseberries?

    It certainly looks like one to me. My extremely tentative guess would be Ribes Hirtellum, an American gooseberry. Their native range includes Ohio. I don't know the Ribes family very well, though, and there are a lot of them, they will cheerfully hybridize with other gooseberries so don't take this as definitive.
