Robert Gibson's marriage to Augusta ?

[lotteex]

Searching for the marriage of Robert Gibson born 1823 in Lowick Northumberland.  The 1861 census shows him with his wife Augusta born 1817.

I'm guessing these to be the parents of Margaret Gibson born 1852ish as she marries a Thomas Bailey and in later census where Margaret shows up with Thomas, they have a Mary Ann Gibson living with them.  She is two years older than Margaret and is in the 1861 census as the daughter of Robert and Augusta.

Thomas and Margaret name one of their daughters Augusta possibly after Margarets mother.   

Many thanks

1861 shows older children, presumably of this marriage too

I think Augusta's birthplace is given as 'Unthank'.

Hi Thanks for your replies.

I think the children are with their parents, not grandparents and the 1851 census shows Augusta from Tweedmouth.

In 1871 Margaret is living with Thomas Bailey in Collingwood Street and she is living in the same road in 1861 with her parents Robert and Augusta and sister Mary Ann Gibson, who shows up with her sister in the same house in 1871.

Just cannot find their marriage

I can't yet see a suitable marriage on freeBMD either.

Can't see a marriage, but this could be Augustas baptism :

United Presbyterian Church, Spittal, 1814.
Augusta Kidd, daughter of John Kidd, by Augusta his wife, of Unthank Square, parish of Tweedmouth and County of Durham, baptised 20 May, born 22 March.

There is an Augusta Kidd, age 20, living in Lowick in 1841 census, a couple of pages away from Robert Gibson.

Alan, that looks really promising.

Lottee, you could confirm Augusta's maiden name by getting the birth certificate of one of her children.
