My great grandmother ELIZABETH RACKSTRAW nee GIBSON died in 1913 aged only 32. Her husband JAMES LINCOLN RACKSTRAW emigrated to Australia shortly afterwards where he later remarried. As a result my family knows very little about Elizabeth. I do know from her marriage certificate from 16 April 1900 at the Parish Church of Sunderland, that she was 18 years old (born c 1882) and her father was George Gibson (deceased) a clerk. She was living at 38 Covent Garden Street, Sunderland at the time of her marriage. The family believe she may have had a brother and sister but nothing is known about them. Elizabeth and James named a son George Gibson Rackstraw (after her father) and another child Agnes Scott Rackstraw. "Agnes Scott" is not a name for the Rackstraw family in Sunderland so it may be from Elizabeth Gibson's family. The online census for 1901 does not show an entry for 38 Covent Garden Street, Sunderland. Elizabeth is shown with her husband and six month old child. Surprisingly Elizabeth place of birth is shown as "London". I would be very interested to contact anybody who is related to this Gibson family, or to find something more about this family. I visited Sunderland a few years ago but couldn't find anything about the family. Best wishes Tony Rackstraw
