Hi guys, can anyone help me find a George Henry Gibson's mother and father's identities i cant seem to trace them anywhere.
his full details are
George Henry Gibson
Born-1883
Died-1955
Married Ethel Davis in 1935 at Ashton registry office.
I'm pretty sure he'd be from the Hurst area of Ashton as thats where all the relatives seem to be from but could be elsewhere, thanks everyone.
p.s. Ethel Davis has a previous husband called William Morisson who died in 1930 aged 28 if that helps, cheers

Welcome to RootsChat Wilbo :)
I'm afraid the name is just not uncommon enough for us to identify him directly.
If you purchase the marriage certificate it should (hopefully!) tell you his father's name. From there we might be able to track him down on censuses.
:)

Thanks for your reply Tati, i know the information was a bit vague. but if anyone can find out any info on a possible match then please let me know anyway because i could probably rule out a wrong match through relations of theres and that. hope that makes sense to you all lol. neway thanks for you help ;)

Do the names ring any bells then? :)
I certainly don't wish to dictate you how to do things but if they were mine, I'd get the 1935 marriage certificate to make sure I'm following the right family.

Wow ure a legend tati :D it would have took me weeks to find all that out. it looks to me like his dad John Gibson died between 1861 and 1871 and then his mother Isabella remarried. Im gonnna try and find the death certificate for him and find out what happened. Thanks again for being such a good help youve really helped me make progress with this and i appreciate you taking time out to help me, cheers again regards, Mark
