Gibson, Byker, Newcastle

[KellG]

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

Who was his wife ,that would help enormously if you posted the details,and that of any possible children ,there are two Thomas Williams marrying one in Newcastle one in Tynemouth ,in the same quarter of 1868

[Radcliff]

Its okay I have worked it out ,his wife is Elizabeth Balmbra born Gateshead her brother on the 1881 census is a glass blower born Manchester name spelt Bambrough,


Looking at the 1871 census Stepney Street All Saints Byker Newcastle Upon Tyne there is a

Thomas aged 21 and Mary aged 20 both born Newcastle, RG10/51O5,

I wonder if they changed their names around now and again, just a thought,

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.

Both being baptised on the same date does not mean they were twins.  I had 4 in the same family on the same date but ranged in age from newborn to age 8.

There is a sister Jane Bambrough being baptised the same day 25 July 1852, but no birthdate, Elizabeth's BD was 5 Jul 1850

Sorry to mislead you there ,both christened the same day,John states born Manchester in the 1881 census and Elizabeth Gateshead,this family prior to her marriage may have moved around I will retrace my steps as I think there was a mention of Middlesex for one of her parents in a census I was looking at earlier today,

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
