Title: Daniel Gibb
Post by: lawrenceb on Thursday 06 March 14 16:45 GMT (UK)
Daniel Gibb was born in Aberdeen, Scotland in approximately 1852.  He married Christian Robertson and they appear in the 1881 and 1891 census for Aberdeen In both the 1901 and 1911 census what appears to be this family is living at 141 John Williamson St., South Shields.  The head of the family is listed as Mr. Gibb.  Christian Gibb states that she has been married for 39 years and is the wife of the head.  But Mr. Gibb is not present in either census.  Oral family history agrees with the family's relocation. Daniel's occupations are listed in Scotland as a baker and ship steward.  Any suggestions as to where I could look for Daniel.
