Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 30 Send Message	Not yet - we're not 100% on the date of birth, this is just what my mum can remember. We can't find Ena so not sure if it is short for something. Since we couldn't get her in 1901 we thought the birth might be a bit out and would be easier to find in 1911.

	Was her mother called Jane? There is this one who is described as step-daughter to the head of household, so it looks as if her mother has re-married:- STEPHENSON, William Head Married M 29 1882 Stone Work Below Ground Dudley Northumberland STEPHENSON, Jane Wife Married 5 years F 46 1865 Backworth Northumberland GIBSON, Thomasine Stepdaughter Single F 21 1890 Longhirst Northumberland GIBSON, William Stepson Single M 16 1895 Endless Rope Lad Belowground Longhirst Northumberland GIBSON, Joseph Belle Fenwick Stepson M 13 1898 Endless Rope Lad Belowground Lenton Northumberland GIBSON, Jane Ann Stepdaughter F 11 1900 Lenton Northumberland <<<<<<<<< GIBSON, Mary Thompson Step Grand Daughter F 0 (10 MONTHS) 1911 Ashington Northumberland Address: 2 Myrtle St Ashington Northd Reference: RG14PN31039 RG78PN1776 RD564 SD3 ED6 SN73 Kath. x

Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 30 Send Message	Yes that looks like it is her. Especially with the place of birth. I just rechecked 1901 census and there is a Jane Ann born 1901 Linton, northumberland. I only got Linton as a birthplace today so thet has helped pinpoint her. Thats great thanks!

	Perhaps Ena was short for Thomasine. Kath. x

Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 30 Send Message	And Ena must be short for Thomasine!

Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 30 Send Message	quite possibly. I just checked 1901 census myself, just the original image. I can't read all of it but does have jane ann and Joseph bell fenwick. There was one unreadable name I thought must be thomasine but would she turn up in 2 places on one census?

Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 30 Send Message	on second look it looks like something - Jane Gibson aged 16 so would make birth 1885 and Thomasines (or Thomasinas?) older sister. Can anyone help with the name?

	Is this the 1901 census you were looking at ? :- GIBSON, Thos Head Married M 36 1865 Miner Coal Ashington Northumberland GIBSON, Jane Wife Married F 36 1865 Backworth Northumberland GIBSON, Mar Jane Daughter Single F 16 1885 Dressmaker Ashington Northumberland (Margaret Jane) <<<<<<< GIBSON, Wm Son Single M 6 1895 Longhirst Northumberland GIBSON, J B F Son Single M 3 1898 Linton Northumberland GIBSON, Jane Ann Daughter Single F 1 1900 Linton Northumberland <<<<<<<<<<< Address: Linton Colliery, Ellington, Village RG number: RG13 Piece: 4837 Folio: 158 Page: 5 Kath. x

Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 30 Send Message	Yes that's it thanks! Margaret Jane doesnt seem to be living with the family in the earlier census records though. New line of enquiry for me!

	This looks like the family in the 1891 census:- GIBSON, Thomas Head Married M 26 1865 Deputy Overman Ashington Northumberland GIBSON, Jane Wife Married F 26 1865 Backworth Northumberland GIBSON, Margaret J Daughter F 6 1885 Scholar Ashington Northumberland GIBSON, Thomasine Daughter F 1 1890 Longhirst Northumberland Address: Long Row, Longhirst, Longhirst Colliery RG number: RG12 Piece: 4259 Folio: 54 Page: 6 Kath. x

	This is a possibility for the parent's marriage:- Name: GIBSON, Thomas Registration District: Morpeth County: Northumberland Year of Registration: 1881 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep Spouse's last name: Not available before 1912 Volume No: 10B Page No: 456 Spouse is either Jane Hall or Jane Hope. You would need to buy one of the children's birth certificates to see what the mother's maiden name was. Kath. x
