researching the gilling family

[coldplayfan]

hi i wonder if anyone can help me find extra information on the gilling family.i am researching henry gilling i am unsure of his dob because there is 3 differant ages for him ranging from 1841 to 1853.i think there is also 2 marriages for him i have him married to annie brooks.henry was born in south shields but on later census hes living in shadforth durham.i know 3 of the children were in ireland by the 1911 census.there is a daughter in the household called elizabeth sarah hudson.it looks like she was married by then to a george hudson who was from silksworth sunderland.i cannot find were those 2 went from 1901 onwards.if anyone can find any info on those 2 id appreciate it.also father henry gilling surname was pronounced gillan in a very early census.any info prior to 1881 census would help.thank you

Are you sure he married Ann Brooks & not Ann Kilburn?
Do you have their marriage cert?

i always thought it was brooks but they both called ann.i think there might be irish links because matilda walter and margerat moved there.on one of the census it looked like annes birthplace was ireland.and on another its derbyshire

Unfortunately you will have to buy one of the children's birth certs.

Mar 1876
Gilling  Elizabeth     Durham  10a 457

Mar 1891   
Gilling  Matilda     Durham  10a 423

Jun 1893
Gilling  Walter     Durham  10a 422
or one of the others.

i have got one of the childrens baptism records but states her name as annie gilling.would a birth certificate be any differant

[jim1]

A Baptism record is not the same as a birth cert.
As I said a birth cert. will give mother's maiden name.
