1861 Lancashire census lookup please for GIBSON

[warrawillah]

I am looking for Horatio Pitt Gibson and his wife Mary and their children Eleanor, Agnes Mary, Sarah, Isabell, Elizabeth and Ann who were all born at  Barrow in Furness. Could someone please check the 1861 Census for them.
Many thanks,

Nothing so far. Can you give approx. year of birth particularly for  the parents?

Ive been searching for the last few hours and come up with nothing in 1861. It would seem Horatio was born 1793 (on the 1851 cencus)In London and on the 1841 cencus it is 1801.
Mary was born about 1809.
Ive found some of the children 1n 1861 as Servants but no sign of parents

Thank you  Pam very much.This looks like the right family. Maybe the parents were deceased by then too.  This was great detective work on your part. I

Thank you Mary vera. It would seem fromthe other replies that Horatio and Mary were both deceased by 1861.

Thankyou also Joe. Could you please send me the names of the possible children of Horatio that you found?
Your help is appreciated.

Hi again Marie
Right, I think Ive found Mary in 1861

1861 Cencus-Adlingham
RG9/3171-31-12

Mary Gibson 52 head Widow b Bousfield -Lancashire
Ann     " 14 dau b Newton
Mary Agnes " 6 Grandaughter b Newton
John " 3 Grandson b Newton
Elizabeth Fell 7 Grandaughter b Newton

If you look at the 1861 post that "Downunder" posted you will notice there is a " Fell " family there. Also the servant called Ashburner in " Downunders " post could be connected to the last post I sent you where James is employed by the Ashburner family.

Coincidence......I will let you decide

Going back to "Downunders" post.....
Robert Fell married Eleanor Gibson in 1854.
He then remarried Margaret Brackwell in 1861 and had lots more kids

Elizabeth Fell 7 who is with Grandma Mary in 1861 is (Im almost sure) the daughter of Robert Fell and Eleanor Gibson and she is with Robert and Margaret in 1871.
