Family History Beginners Board / Help with mysterious Mariner ancestor needed please
« on: Wednesday 03 May 17 18:44 BST (UK) »
My 3X Great Grandfather, Edward Gibson was born in Darlington in 1811. He became an apprentice mariner at a young age and then moved up to Seaman, then Mate and finally Master. I have been able to find little on him apart from a couple of Masters and Mates certificates. I cannot find him on any census returns at all. His wife, Jane (nee Metcalf) is always on her own with the children. The family lived in Hartlepool for quite a while. Jane also dissapears into thin air after 1861. I cannot find either of their deaths or census returns after that. I have been on the search for them through over 30 years of genealogical research. Can anyone help

Great Britain 39%
Scandinavia 26%
Europe West 13%
Ireland 9%
Iberian Peninsula 8%
Low Confidence Region
Finland/Northwest Russia 2%
Europe East 1%

Then there are my 23 and Me Results. Different again
