Find Living Relatives

Flora and her sister were my grandads sisters born to William Gibson b.1860 and Sarah Ann Ball b. c.1863 d. 1940. My grandad died before I was born ,and my mum now deceased did not know anything about them. Can anyone find any information please,? My grandad Roger Gibson b.1886 d.1946 played for Blackburn Rangers and was also a Manager at Vickers in Barrow In Furness. Many thanks

What sort of information do you mean? You can use freebmd to finding their birth, marriage and deaths.

Have you found them in the census?

Have you other family members you could

Then has anyone got themin their trees -
Local papers should have match reports which may mention your grandfather as would a history of the club if one has been written.

LOTS of info found and posted!!!!!

Incdentally it's Blackburn ROVERS ;-) ;-)

ErikaH yes my grandad Roger played for Blackburn Rovers , I have a photo of him in the line up of his team, not sure when he played for them though. Thank you forfinding out lots of info and a big thank you to the other people who helped also .

I have no idea why I put Blackburn Rangers.

Auto-correct perhaps? ;-) ;-)

Just looked at the list of all Rovers first-team players, but his name isn’t among them, so perhaps he didn’t quite make the first team, in view of his other commitments

i will send a copy of my photo to Blackburn Rovers and see if they can send me any information on him. Many thanks for all the information ErikaH. :-)
