I am reposting the following GIBSON family as I have had another look at what is known about this family. I suspect that William may be my great-granduncle as his DOB is quite close to my KNOWN great-granduncle William's DOB; their places of birth are the same; and the place of residence (Swanscombe) and place of marriage (Stone) is the same as my great-grandmother Sarah PACKMAN who married George GIBSON http://www.angelfire.com/journal2/shampayne2001/JimsFamily/index.htm >From the 1881 census 1 Alma Square, Swanscombe, Kent, England William GIBSON Head M Male 57 Bighton, Hampshire, England Invalid Sarah GIBSON Wife M Female 60 Stone, Kent, England Alice DAY Niece Female 6 Swanscombe, Kent, England Scholar William DAY Boarder U Male 24 Avington, Hampshire, England Labourer (I have also come across a marriage in the IGI at Stone, Kent, England 27 Sept 1851 between William GIBSON and Sarah MANTLE d/o Thomas SIMMONS and Sarah ANECK.) If this is my great-granduncle, it could explain how my great-Grandfather George GIBSON who was born in Bighton, HAM, ENG met my great-grandmother who lived in Swanscombe, KEN, ENG Can anyone recognize this family?
