Looking for any information on the family of William Morrison Gibson and his wife Helen Jane Luke Gibson nee Forbes. William died in Watford in December of 1968 and Helen in Watford in 1949. Thank you.
-
Just to get a sense of the timeline:
Marriage, June qtr 1906
Hendon district vol 3a, page 523
Gibson, William Morrison
Forbes, Helen Jane L
WW1, RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corps):
87089 A/L/Cpl Gibson, William Morrison entitled to British War Medal and Victory Medal
William died age 93, according to FreeBMD. So born c1875.
Helen died age 67. So born c1882.
I see, from the 1911 census, that both were born in Scotland.
So you'll need to look on ScotlandsPeople website for births etc..
I am assuming you want information re their parents, grandparents, etc?
-
I have a birth year of 1875 for William and I have Helen's details as this is the side I descend from including her siblings and parents etc. William and Helen had a son Harry S. Gibson born in 1911 of whom I know nothing. I was unaware of William's service so that is something new for my research. Thankyou for the information you have provided :)
-
There is a 4 month old Harry S Gibson on the 1911 census?
A patient in St Monica's Children's Hospital in Willesden.
-
Can you tell me please where I need to go to access Williams service record?..Can I do it online from Australia?
Thanks for the info on Henry :) - I suspect the 'S'in his name stands for Steel as 'Henry Steel' is a name carried through the family.
-
Sorry...I meant Harry..although all the Henry's in the family were known as Harry :)
-
I haven't found a service record; his medal information came from a Regimental Roll (on Ancestry).
Something like 66% of WW1 Service Records were destroyed after a bombing raid in WW2!
Doesn't look like his survived?
Those that did survive are on Ancestry or FindMyPast.

I have a birth year of 1875 for William
I don't have time just now to do a proper search but William was not born 1874 - 1876 (in Scotland) so need to widen the range ???
