Hi,
Do you have Gertrude's marriage cert showing her father's occupation?
I think that is the right marriage, but the wrong census (sorry Cardiff) as that 1891 census shows wife as Mary A and children b. Stockton also the marriage would have been after the oldest child's birth (not impossible I know)
I found a Robert Gibbon Wright in 1881 census born Kirby Wiske, by 1891 he was married to Mary E - with children born Darlington so this may be right, problem was finding Gertrude, but the Selina G turns out to be Selina Gertrude b. Dec Qu 1889 Darlington 10a 19 so could fit.
1881 RG11/4884 fol.47 p.37 37 Swan St, Darlington in household of Mary Airey:
Alice Ann Wright lodger 9 Scholar Yorks, Kirby Wiske
John Wright " 24 Policeman " "
Robert Gibbon Wright " 22 Railway Clerk " "
1891 RG11/4040 fol.54 p.7 19 Swan St, Darlington
Robert G. Wright head 31 Railway Clerk Yorks Kirby Wiske
Mary E " wife 28 " South Stockton
John R. " son 6 Scholar Durham Darlington
Alice A. " dau 5 " "
Fred E " son 3 "
Selina G " dau 1 "
For ordering Darlington certificates, go to www.darlington.gov.uk/Living/Register+Office/RegOfficeSearch as it will probably be quicker than ordering from the GRO

hi ,this could be who iam looking for as father was gibbon second name and he was a wailway worker.
many thanks keep in touch. barbara.

To be sure you need Gertrude's marriage certificate, and take it from there. If you need other census look-ups, just ask,
Happy hunting, Barbara

hi,i have marrage cert for Gertrude Wright she married a Harold Windale on 20- 05- 1911. and her father was Robert Gibbon railway worker but i have no info of her mother.she was married in Darlington. many thanks Barbara.

Hi Barbara
I cant help with Gertrude, but Harold was brother to Herbert Windale, who was married to Jane Brown (Windale) they resided in Darlington. Thanks for the info as it has helped me fill in a gap on the Windale side.

On the 1891 census that Ecneps posted , all those children check out on the GRO site to have a mother's maiden name of Ayre
As Robert G was single in 1881 and married by 1891 with the eldest child listed as being born 1885, this looks like a quite likely record for the marriage of Robert G Wright and Mary E Ayre
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NXP9-GFJ
and there was a marriage announcement in the newspapers
Northern Star 1 Aug 1884, page 3 c 1
Marriages
WRIGHT-AYRE
July 31st at St John's Church, Darlington Robert Wright to Mary Ellen Ayre, both of Darlington
a free search of the 1921 census has a
Selina G Windale born 1889, recorded in Carlisle, and the other occupants are a Harold A, Harold and 3 others
Using just the surname Windale, and specifying Carlisle in the free search brings up just 6 names - which matches on numbers from Selina G's result -
Selina G born 1889 Darlington
Harold A born 1888 Darlington
Harold born 1912 Darlington
Doris born 1913
and the two youngest born Carlisle
Irene born 1917
Thomas W born 1920
Checking the children in the GRO index shows they all have a MMN of Wright

If this is the correct Harold (Brother of Herbert Windale) it would be interesting!
