Richard Gibson married 1792 Selby- 1800 trade directory a Cooper Wren lane Selby

[..claire..]

I can't see a second marriage for him. I think Sarah and Ann were the same person, perhaps 'Ann' was a pen name. She is alive until 1880 and with the children in the census as Sarah.

Cecilia was Christophers grandaughter,  Letitia is his grandaughter also ~ Edward Dunkley and Martha Gibson both being siblings.

A marriage entry in the Banbury Guardian 1845 for Christopher Gibsons daughter Ann to Frederick Perkins reveals that the Inn that Christopher was publican of was the Queens Arms in Market Square.

Hi

Thanks Claire. Interesting to find other family, in a newspaper notice.

Seems Christopher Gibson was a Freemason.

"Brother Gibson, Queen's Arms Inn, Market Square, in this town" [Northampton], in the ...
Nottingham Ancient Imperial United Order of Odd Fellows.

London Freemasonry Museum (general information online) ...
"Nottingham Ancient Imperial Order of Oddfellows: seceded from Sheffield Unity about 1812."

Christopher Gibson - Yorkshire connection, I wonder?

Regards Mark

From the Freemason records on Anc*

From the records of the 'Pomfret Lodge' Christopher Gibson appears in their records from 1819-1845. He was also a musician, which his son Christopher carried on, as he appears in the same Lodge in 1861 and a newspaper article as a pianoforte player.

There is a military record for Christopher Gibson born in the Parish of Rowell in the town of (looks like Kellarum but probably Kettering) in Northamptonshire.  Northamptonshire Regiment of Militia

Enlisted 4 Jan (year not stated) at the age of 16 'for 5 years and during the war'. In total he served for 31 years 268 days:

County Corps: 01 Jan 04 - 09 Jul 14
Northamp:  09 Jul 14 - 02 Oct 26
Militia: 02 Oct 26 - 10 Oct 35.

Discharged Oct 1835 at the age of 44.  Occupation Shoemaker with a ?

Rowell is probably Rothwell, so this could be interesting:

Hospital admissions:
19 Mar 1808, Thomas Gibson, Rothwell.  Discharged 02 Apr 1808, Cured
28 Jan 1809, Thomas Gibson, Rothwell.  Discharged 18 Feb 1809.  Dead.

Hi Claire

Thank you, good find! I'll find it at the Library, as I'm also looking for an earlier Census, of an Emma Hirst, Visitor, M, aged 57 or 59, born Ledsham, Yorks (in the 1891 Census RG12 /3762 51, Page 11 for Whitwood Normanton, I've got of Charles Hood, Head, M, 30, born Selby). This Charles is not in my line, but shares the same Grandfather George Hood (d. Selby 18 Sept 1845 - burial unknown).

On the above Emma Hirst, I seem to run out of Library time. I used the free Weekend to fill a few gaps on the Branches (not in my line). Perhaps she had married late, or again.

About 20 years ago, I had searched my line manually in the Census at Record Offices in four counties, coming home and ordering a B, M, or D Certificate (never got one wrong Certificate), back to Ol' stubborn George!

Now I've ordered more GRO Certificates (than those in my Direct Line), just to get sideways relations, or possible sideways relatives.

Thought I saw Music. in docs re Gibson.

A Christopher Gibson of Northampton had his Clarinet (spelt Clarionet) taken, value £2.

Thanks Jomot,

I'm getting this awful feeling that this Christopher Gibson (linked later to the wife of my 2 X Gt. G'r. Hood) may turn out to be born locally to Northants and possibly not have any ties/links to the Richard Gibson family of Selby / Newcastle, who we think might be linked to my 4 X Gt. G'r. Hood)?

George Hood of Selby (d.1845) you are a pain!!

The persons who decided to dispose of Richard Gibson's file and other Bankruptcy files, have not helped either.

The 1960s Public Record Office HMSO Manual says they are (or were in my case) a rich source of family information!

That is why I saw all the Indexes and Registers, just in case!

I'm finding HOOD in actual docs, transcribed as Wood, too.
