Maybe the glass industry was getting slower?
By 1871 John Bambrough was a "Tripe Dealer"
1881 "Tripe Prerarer"
His widow took over & in 1901 & 1911 is listed as "Tripe Preparer"

My wife's family mentioned the tripe business years ago & often wondered what happened to it.
(Not that I'm interested, I can't stand the stuff)!!!

I also finally discovered where my father in laws middle name of Bambrough originated from.

Elizabeth was remarried in 1898 to George Matfin & died 4th June 1919.
By 1901 she had taken over the family tripe business started by her father.

It seems that the family did not move very far! John Bambrough lived at 8 St.Lawrence Road Byker in 1881.
In 1901 & 1911 Elizabeth was living there.
In 1936 my wife's Grandfather William Henry Gibson listed his place of residence on his marriage certificate as 8 St.Lawrence Road, Byker!

It is the Gibson side I'm struggling with.
William Henry Gibson was born 18th May 1913 Tynemouth.
His father Thomas Gibson was born 1877 Newcastle
Thomas Gibson's father Thomas William was born aroung 1848 Newcastle.

I've found Thomas Gibson in 1881 & 1901 & his father Thomas William in 1881

apart from that I can find no other mention of Thomas William Gibson

I think there was a mention of Middlesex for one of her parents in a census I was looking at earlier today,

Elizabeths father John was born in London in 1830

Hi Radcliff,

Thanks for your help.
Until now, I wasn't aware that Elizabeth had a twin brother! I found her Baptism records but have not found John yet.
As far as I can tell Thomas William Gibson was married to Elizabeth Balmbra in the 2nd quarter of 1868 at Newcastle All Saints.
The marriage record & the 1881 census are all I can find of him.
In 1881 they were living at 80 Shipley Street Byker.

Northumberland / Gibson, Byker, Newcastle

While tracing my wife's family, I was able to locate her G G Grandfather Thomas William Gibson.
He was apparently born around 1848 in Newcastle.
Married 21st June 1868 in Newcastle.
1881 Census was living in Byker Newcastle.

The problem is, for some reason I cannot find him in the 1851, 61, 71 or 91 Census.
I know his wife remarried in 1898.

Could this "dissapearence" be due to the name Gibson being spelt differently or misread by transcribers?

Any help would be very gratefully received.

Thanks,
Dave

I hope you mean born 1838?

Hi Geordie Mag,

It certainly is a complication, but it's also a plausible explanation as to why I cannot find any reference to Walter Robsons Baptism.
I'll just have to keep looking further afield

Thanks for the help.

As far as I can tell, Walter Robson of Longbenton is not the Walter Robson of St.John Lee, Hexham that I'm looking for.

World War Two / Re: royal engineers

Hi Pete,

If your Dad was listed as a gunner & you have a photo of him wearing a Royal Engineers badge I can only guess that he was transfered at some time in his career.
As an example, one of my uncles started the second world war as a gunner in the Royal Artillery & ended as a private in the Lincolnshire Regiment!

Dave.
