Hi

I have no links with the family but I wonder if this could be them, with one or two (significant) variations ?

1881

Berwick RG11/5130 Folio 9 Page 12

Thomas Gibbons Head M 32 Gen Lab Berwick
Elizabeth do Wife M 27 Tweedmouth N'land
Margaret do Daur 4 Berwick
Thomas do Son 2 Berwick
John do Son 1mo Berwick

6 Chapel Street, Berwick on Tweed

1891

Berwick RG12/4267 Folio 98 Page 18

Thomas Gibbon (sic) Head M 48 General Labourer Northumberland Berwick
Elizabeth do Wife M 38 Field Worker (Agricultural) Northumberland Berwick
Thomas do Son S 12 Scholar Northumberland Berwick
John do Son 10 Scholar Northumberland Berwick
William do Son 8 Scholar Northumberland Berwick

6 Weatherley Square, Berwick upon Tweed

1901

Berwick RG13/4844 Folio 123 Page 10

Thomas Gibbons Head Widr 55 Labourer at Docks Northumberland Berwick
William do Son S 17 Labourer at Docks Northumberland Berwick

13 Weatherley Sq. Berwick on Tweed

Thomas’ age seems to vary quite a bit but it looks like he would have been nearer to 25 than 35 in 1874. The third child is called John (not James). There is no birth registration for a James Gibbons in Berwick within two years either side of 1881 but there is one for John. William Gibbons did not marry Ellen Yorke until 1909, so it fits that he would still be with his father in 1901.

What do you think ?

Sorry for the late reply.
Thank you all very much for these pieces of  information. I did have the 1881 census but none of the others nor the marriage/death information. Also Weatherley Square appears somewhere in my research so must look for it
Now I will print off your replies and see where this information will lead me.
Many  thanks,
Rae
