Hi Angie For reference - where are they on the Census please ??? Is this them ? Ann Gibson abt 1801 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Mother Aston Warwickshire George Gibson abt 1865 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Son Aston Warwickshire John W Gibson abt 1870 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Son Aston Warwickshire Robert Gibson abt 1842 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Head Aston Warwickshire Sarah Gibson abt 1841 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Wife Aston Warwickshire Sarah Gibson abt 1867 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Daughter Aston Warwickshire Cheers...Paul

How confident are you a] that they got married at all? and b] that any marriage date was just then? There are lots of tales of people marrying long after all the children were born; or never actually marrying, just the woman taking the man's name. One of my paternal ancestors was buried as Mrs Stratford ''properly called Gardner''. The history suggests she ''married'' her late elder sister's husband - but wouldn't have been able, according to law, to do so at that time. Christine

yes thats them paul thanks for helping angie xx

Angie I always try freebmd first :-) Heather

The Ancestry database is a copy of the FReeBMD database. Ancestry's search is faster, generally, and has acquired some useful extra facilities lately, but the database may not be up-to-date if FreeBMD has been updated recently. And there's always the ''searchable'' full set of GRO index pages, if you don't mind trawling, or if you're looking for events after about 1910. They're free at the moment - while in ''beta''/test mode. Chrisitne
