George Gibbs
« on: Saturday 04 June 16 17:18 BST (UK) »
can anyone please fill in the blanks? in 1911 George's wife Annie (Ms Morgan) and children Mary Jane Gibbs aged  7years and George Joseph Gibbs aged 5years were visitors in her brother Arthur Morgans house, Bonecastle, Holllymount, Down. George Gibbs was we think working in Dublin (Brushmaker). I cannot find any other records of the families whereabouts until in 1921 when they were living in Princess Street, Bolton, Lancashire. a gap of some 10years, PS they were married at St, Mirens RC church in Paisley, Scotland in 1902.

1911 is the latest available U.K. census so you might need to look at directories, electoral rolls, church records, etc. to fill in the 1911-1921 gap.

George Gibbs was we think working in Dublin (Brushmaker).
