Hello

According to Free BMD and the corresponding image of the index page, no Richard Gibson, Death Registered in the Districts of Tynemouth (for Hartley) or District of Newcastle, for the Gibson of Benton Square, involved in the fatal shooting accident.

The newspaper piece said they left from Hartley, but no 100% confirmation of where they returned to.

Three male Gibson deaths reg Q2 1859 Tynemouth. Only two adults, Joseph age 52 and Thoms age 30
In 1851 there is a single Thomas age 22 living in Benton Square, age would fit.
Did he marry and have four children in 8 years - could easily be done.

There are three boys and a girl with surname Gibson an mmn Tulip reg between 1853 and 1859 in Tynemouth dist. Marriage for Thomas Gibson in 1853 one bride possibility is Eleanor Tulip. Postems identify the other couple and one spare male

No I think it's only three and a fourth born too late to be fathered by a man who died in June 1859. Not him after all, unless an earlier child not registered as Gibson

Hi, I'm just researching a related family and saw your post.  Looks like the Thomas GIBSON of Benton Square b. circa 1829 was the son of the family I'm seeking!  That would be Richard GIBSON b. 1803 & first wife Ann (WANLESS). Richard is with his second wife in the 1851 census of Long Benton ... in the same locale in 1841, Richard is with children including son Thomas GIBSON age 17; along with another son Richard -- perhaps the "younger cousin" you mentioned?     

For what it's worth, I'm trying to identify the Thomas HORN age 6, an "inmate" who was living with them in 1841.  In 1851 he seems to have been recorded as Thomas GIBSON age 17!  (I have him from 1861 onward as a HORN.)
