Elizabeth was remarried in 1898 to George Matfin & died 4th June 1919.
By 1901 she had taken over the family tripe business started by her father.

It seems that the family did not move very far! John Bambrough lived at 8 St.Lawrence Road Byker in 1881.
In 1901 & 1911 Elizabeth was living there.
In 1936 my wife's Grandfather William Henry Gibson listed his place of residence on his marriage certificate as 8 St.Lawrence Road, Byker!

It is the Gibson side I'm struggling with.
William Henry Gibson was born 18th May 1913 Tynemouth.
His father Thomas Gibson was born 1877 Newcastle
Thomas Gibson's father Thomas William was born aroung 1848 Newcastle.

I've found Thomas Gibson in 1881 & 1901 & his father Thomas William in 1881

apart from that I can find no other mention of Thomas William Gibson

From glass blower to tripe maker very interesting I have seen the family just didn't think they were the same one,

I have a census over in Durham,Gateshead 1891,RG12/4184

Elizabeth aged 36 also born Newcastle,
John aged 16 born Newcastle,painters apprentice

Maybe the glass industry was getting slower?
By 1871 John Bambrough was a "Tripe Dealer"
1881 "Tripe Prerarer"
His widow took over & in 1901 & 1911 is listed as "Tripe Preparer"

My wife's family mentioned the tripe business years ago & often wondered what happened to it.
(Not that I'm interested, I can't stand the stuff)!!!

I also finally discovered where my father in laws middle name of Bambrough originated from.

John left the tripe business to his wife in 1887,

Elizabeth Gibson Matfin made a real success of the business as when her will was granted probate in 1919 to John Pirrie Morrison and his wife Jane there was an estate of £1422 pounds 16 shillings and 7d,

now back to Gibson, Thomas is the son of Thomas in the marriage records ,do you have the marriage cert stating his  address and occupation when he married Elizabeth,
