Hi 

The 1911 Census is only available on a pay per view basis - ie: have to buy credits. So we can't freely do lookups (& Rootschat policy is no asking for 1911 Lookups    )

However, you can search the 1911 index yourself for free.
http://www.1911census.co.uk
Do a full person search (advances to next screen)
Then Advanced Search (opens up full search fields)

I think this link will take you straight to the Full Person Advanced Search:
http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx

Search for Surname Exact: GIBSON in Cockermouth, Cumberland.
In "Other members of Household" boxes, put in: Surname Exact:  GIBSON and Forenames Exact: Sarah Ann.
Then click Search.  This should give you a bit of a lead. and a list of names who maybe in the household.

Because we can't search on an age of the person put  in "Other Members field"  I would also normally suggest mix and matching searches, using other names produced in the above search,  in the "Other Members..." field  to try make sure you get a proper houselot which includes the right Sarah Ann GIBSON.  However, there is only 1 Sarah Ann GIBSON in Cockermouth, and she is age 4, so no need,  I think you will find 9 people in the household.

It appears the son you mention, was registered in Stockton, Jun Qtr 1936.
Search McCONNELL surname, Mothers surname GIBSON, Stockton (Durham/Yks NRY) 1936

yes i bought a transcription, if i have enough credits left i will get the original and see if i can make head or tail of it. The older John is a farm worker - a drainer??? asked my dad he thought he might have had something to do with draining the land. Just found out that the youngest child on the 1911 census was mary and she had downs syndrome, and never left the house.
i was in cockermouth 2 years ago and had the opportunity of visting the old farmstead, which has now moved out of the family. was strange seeing were my granny grew up worked and played.

Hi Gail

How lucky you are to have been able to visit  When I win Lotto I'll be all over the British Isles looking for old houses and address!

I was more interested in seeing if John GIBSON age 65 was stated as a Father, Uncle, Cousin or Servant, etc? If he was a Servant, I'd have to wonder if his surname was truly GIBSON....It looks to me as if your John's father was probably Daniel.

Do you want me to go back in the Census for John and Betsy to see what we can find?

Cheers

That would be great if you could do that for me ambly
betsy's maiden name was cubby, and was originally from blindcrake (where my grandmother was born)
got the orginal of the census and i think the strange pob looks more like ternriggmoor or something like that so now i have to search the district for a similar name!
were do u live. i live in northern ireland
cheers again
