Hi , could some kindly soul help me work out which lady William Jarvis Gibson married in West Ham district in 1882 please? Either Eleanor or Emma by cross ref the cencus in 1891. I would also be interested in any children they may have had and what became of William post 1882 . It appears they may have had at least one who sadly died aged 9?
Many thanks in advance. :-)

I have done a search for an eleanor as well on the 1891, looks like Emma might be the likely wife of your William

Nicola, if that is 1891 census, I would think that Emma would have been too young to marry in 1882

Thanks Mike. Cant see many Emma Skikelthorpes on freebmd that could cause any confusion,so looks more likely he married Eleanor Midwin( who I can find no other trace of on freebmd for a birth.)

haha my booboo missed that

There is this birth but she wouldn't be 40 in 1901

SKIKELTHORPE Emma - W Ham 4a 13

...nor would she be Skikelthorpe if she'd married.


Of course, you COULD buy the marriage cert and all would be revealed !

Thanks both. Yes, I dont think the one you found in Chelsea is them Nicola. William Jarvis Gibson was born in East Winch/Freebridge Lynn in Norfolk C1853.
Sorry,I should have said this at begining.

Sadly Mike I'm out of work and the basic gr is the only subscrition I can afford anymore. I usually rely on x referencing free resources.I rarely ask lookup request, but now I have got stuck,causing one of these occasions requiring the census. :-)

Is there any other information you have that may help get as close as possible?

Hmm ..confusing ,I've just found on freebmd an Eleanor Hamilton Gibson marrying in West Ham in 1899. Would not have been old enough to be a child of William and Eleanor marrying,therefore I can only assume the worst that William is perhaps dead?
This leads me to another question :- would victorian widows have tended to remarry under their maiden name or there former husbands name?

for 1901 ces using the information you have given and not wildcard this is what came up.

Hi Nicola ,I do not have much other info on William,other than where he was born (as above) parents John Gibson and Susan Jarvis. He has been mistranscribed or had spelling variation occasionally as Gipson, back in the day when I had census access and on freebmd.

I found this death record

Gibson William Jarvis _9 W. Ham 4a 105

on the original document it looks like the age is 39, which would make it about right.

sorry forgot to add the he died dec quarter 1892
