james william gibson wife sarah jane moore its their son william moore gibson born derby 1896  ive got conflicting issues with he is my grandad married lily lloyd in 1935 wirral

I can see a William GIBSON b. c1896 Derby on the 1901 census with younger siblings Reginald and Constance, living in Buxton with their aunt Valencia Peacock (great name!) - is this the one?

We're not allowed to do 1911 lookups because of copyright issues, but the free index at http://fmpbsol.1911census.co.uk/ shows a James William GIBSON b. c1872 living in Garston, and a William Moore GIBSON seems to be in the same household.  However, James isn't in Garston (as far as I can see) in 1901 - there's a possible match with a soldier born Derby who is a patient in a military hospital in Aldershot - does this match his occupation on William's birth cert?

not got birth certs yet just working on info at the minute but that sounds right i have been told that james was a soldier but its all confusing thankyou for your help

In order to go further, as and when funds permit, it would be a good idea to get a couple of certs - William's birth cert would confirm his parents' names and father's occupation (although you have that info already), and his parents' marriage cert would give their ages and occupations when they married, as well as their fathers' names.

Here's the reference for the marriage, in case you don't have it:

Marriages Jun 1895
GIBSON   James William
MOORE   Sarah Jane
St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 935

A James William GIBSON, son of Paul GIBSON and Ann, was christened at St Andrew's, Derby on 27 Mar 1872 - this is on the LDS pilot site http://search.labs.familysearch.org/   This would fit the 1901 soldier, but you really need to confirm he's William's father first!

private first grenadier guards wellington barracks

That was James when he married?

In that case the 1901 soldier looks right, as does the Derby christening. 

I can't spot him for certain in 1891, but here he is in 1881, although his forenames are reversed.   (That's confusing, but not unusual - he may have been christened as JW but known as William, for instance.)
