1861 Lancashire census lookup please for GIBSON

[Sisterjane]

Mary Gibson b 1809 is still around in 1871 if you want details let me Know.


The nearest I can find for a death for Horatio b 1793 is
Joseph Horatio Gibson died 1856 in Stockport-Lancashire/Cheshire
Vol 8a Page38.
This will need checking carefully.

Once again, great detective work Joe. Yes, Elizabeth certainly is the daughter of Robert Fell and Eleanor Gibson.
I would like Mary's household detals from the 1871 Census thankyou.

I don't think that the Joseph Horatio you found is the right one. I have his birth on the IGI as 1799 and his name was Horatio Pitt Gibson, believed to be the illegitimate son of William Pitt the younger and Mary Gibson Will never be able to prove that of course as he was born some months after Pitt died.    Funny thing though, the Australian family had never heard of Horatio but Granny insisted her Granny was the grandaughter of William Pitt the Younger, through the Gibson family so that's why I went looking  and was amazed to find Horatio Pit Gibson.  All the books say Pitt died childless. My guess is he mightn't have even known Mary was pregnant!

With this info we could rewrite the history books
Many thnaks again, Marie

Hi Marie
 Mary Gibson was living with her daughter Agnes Turner and a grandson William Hunter Gibson b.1862 there were living in Newton, Dalton, not sure who William belongs to. Agnes married  James Turner in 1851 and had I think four kids James died and Agnes married again to John Storey in 1874, Mary died in 1889.
the 1861 census shows Mary 3 Grandkids Elizabeth Fell b. 1854 belonging to Robert & Eleanor Fell, Mary Agnes Gibson b.1855 was Sarah Gibson daughter and John Gibson b.1858 was Mary Gibson daughter, both Eleanor's sisters.
William Pitt died 1806 so Horatio (Pit) Gibson would of been 6 or 7 years old so he could of known him put probably didn't.

hope this helps
