Which of John Gibbs children is your next in line?

As explained earlier by Shirley...until 1875, there were no penalties for not registering births....so the cert you have is not necessarily the person in your tree.

You really have to work backwards from yourself.................getting certs to verify every generation.........

Also, you must take care to check the registration DISTRICT.......

As is clearly shown above in the census returns, the two boys are in totally different districts within the County

ye mel got that i dont know which one is which but thank for lookin for me

James Gibbs on the last census I put up is a Printers Bookseller and Stationer.

thanx mel i thought it was the first one u put on but now i have a birth cert for him i dont know which one it is

yes flick i know that but when i look on the census his mother wasn't there but on the cert it was there.

his name is JOHN GIBBS born 1843-1844 in HEREFORDSHIRE, but when i look through the census there are 2 JOHN GIBBS that were born in the same area, in the census one had a dad called JOHN and the cert i have got his dad is called JAMES that is where i am stuck

Lisa what year of birth do you have for your John Gibbs and what area please.

What was his brothers name?

Without these we can't help you.

Of course the birth cert names the mother.......ALL full birth certs have the full details of - at least - the child's mother

But we can't help you on the basis of what you've posted.........

If you'd care to expand on your info, we could perhaps give you relevant advice......

How can you have added someone to your tree without knowing his correct details?
