The elusive Gibbins branch of the family.

[totally leics]

Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to help solve this family conundrum for me.Sarah Gibbins was in the mill trade in Thurmaston in 1871, but I'm having problems tracing a husband for her then, plus in 1881 she emerges in Argyle St Leicester St.Margarets with her two youngest children, she is now Sarah Robinson, but still no husband. Could she have reverted to her maiden name, her daughters are still Gibbins. Her son Thomas is in Syston in 1881 as miller, grocer, & baker. This part of my puzzle is; did Sarah have two husbands, and if so, who were they?
   The second part is unfortunately more vague. There is a perceived family tradition that the Gibbins ancestors moved from Hallaton at some time in the 19th century and while I have located people by this surname in Hallaton in the 1820's I cannot find any link to the Thurmaston Gibbins family.
      Anyone who has had the patience to read all this and can offer any help whatsoever, I would be very grateful.

Hi totally Leics,

Have you ruled out this marriage?

Mar 1877
Barrow on Soar 7a 231
Sarah Gibbins to possibly Richard Robinson

[Tati]

Did you notice that her mother and sister are staying with her in 1871? Their name is Carvell, so we can imagine that Carvell was her maiden name.

Marriage
Sarah Carvell - George Gibbins
Mar 1852 Leicester 7a 295

(She's with George on the 1861 census for Thurmaston)

So it looks like she had 2 husbands indeed

Hi TL - if you would like folks to take a look for you,  we could with some more info,   when was Sarah born and where?  what was her maiden name?  and census references are good if you have them - sometimes a second pair of eyes and all that

The 1861 census shows that George was born Hallaton:

1861
RG9/2282 115 5
Thurmaston South, Leicestershire
George Gibbins, head, 36, Miller, b. Hallaton
Sarah, wife, 32, b. Thurmaston
Eliza A, dau, 7, scholar, b. do.
Thomas, son, 5, scholar, b. do.
William B, son, 4, scholar, b. do.
Johnson, son, 1, b. do.
Samuel Bishop, relative, wid, 75, Retired Miller, b. do.
+ 2 servants
