Birth
notes |
Because
Gibbins cannot be found in 1911 census, then his parents cannot be found
either, but given that he was born four months after the 1901 census was
completed, we can say that the only Gibbins that were in Forest Gate in
April 1901 were a Charles H. and an Emily, who had already had four
children. They live at the Boot Shop, 56 Stacey Road in West Ham.
Their youngest in April 1901 was a seven-month old Arthur William Gibbins. |
|
Census Notes |
Gibbins cannot be
found in the census returns with any degree of certainty. What is certain
is that in 1911, there is no William Vivian Talbot Gibbins recorded, as
one would expect to find in the first concise return. However, there is a
Forest Gate-born nine year old in the 1911 return, his name was William
Vernon Talbot. |
