Can anyone help me find the death of my g,g, grandad William Gibson, b. 1832.
His parents were Hugh M Gibson and Elizabeth Richard, he was born in Ayrshire ,not sure when he came to England with his parents and siblings .His son my great- grandad ,William Gibson b.1860 married Sarah Ann Ball( b.1863) on 15/12/1881 in Lancaster.( I have the marriage certificate) , but I cant find a death for him or his wife. Is there anyone out there that can help find William b.1832 death, his wife Elizabeth's death and then son William's death (b.1860) please?
Very much appreciated .

You were given 1901, 1911 AND 1921 in your other thread……..take note of where they were living, and look for deaths in that area

On one of your other threads, ErikaH suggested this death for William 1860:

Deaths Mar 1913 (>99%)
Gibson William 49 Barrow F. 8e 1212

I know the age is a little out, but age stated at death depends on what the informant believed was correct.
It seem like a good possibility.
If it was my search, I would buy a copy of that cert to check if it's the right one or not.


Sarah Ann/Annie was still alive in 1921, per the census posted on one of your threads.

This may be her death:

Thank you so much, I couldnt get the info from the Scottish site, so grateful as I now know where the Scottish side of my family started , the information my deceased mum gave me was a bit wrong. She said her dad was Scottish, but he died when she was 9, and maybe she didnt get the correct info from her mum , or remembered what her mum told her. I do have photos of him holding my mum as a baby , my mum was born 18 years after her 3 siblings.
I appreciate everything youve done for me
