ArgyllGran: thank you and can you see JG in 1871 please?? If he is still single in that census, then we can narrow down the date for their marriage hopefully. :-)

I would say this is Eliza's birth. There is also one in Clerkenwell in the same year.

Nicola'S Report 11 Feb 2016 21:49

I am officially annoyed with myself. I CANNOT find this marriage with any permutation I can think of.

JOHN GIBBONS to ELIZA E. GIBBONS - yes, they had the same surname.

Here is their firstborn:
Emily Kate Gibbons born 18th April 1875 at 21 Caroline Street, London to John Gibbons, Groom Domestic Servant, and Eliza Emily Gibbons formerly Gibbons all of 21 Caroline Street, Pimlico.

I have found EEG in a couple of censuses [I think] but it is their marriage we're after, please.

And please, please don't waste your valuable time and kindness in looking up their offspring, etc. We have all that.

But if you can find John Gibbons going back, that would be good too. He was a Groom.

Once we've nailed their marriage and I can order the MC, then I can nail her father, etc.
Thank you.
