Trying to Find Annie Gibson Turner: abt 1858 England or Scotland?
« on: Saturday 19 August 17 02:18 BST (UK) »
Ive hit a brick wall with trying to find out information on my paternal Grandfather's parents. His name is George Henry Gibson born 1895 in Sandy's Bermuda. He passed away in 1974 in White Plains, NY. He was married to Charlotte 'Lottie' Edwards. His mother name is Annie Turner abt 1858. (England or Scotland) I'm not sure what her maiden name is as She was married to a Turner (George Joseph Turner Feb 5, 1837 Sheffield, England) in England and had a child (George Sinclair Turner 1875 England) I have ordered my Grandfather's birth certificate from Bermuda but it only list his mother's name as Annie Gibson and the records for her other children do not list a father but on one child's birth her name was listed as Sarah Annie (see attached). I've also ordered my Grandfather's SSI form and he listed his father's name as the exact same name of himself; George Henry Gibson and his mother's name as Ann Turner. His death certificate list his mother as Ann Turner and his father as Ozzie Gibson and on another document his father was listed was George O Gibson. I think it's fair to say his father's name was just made up as I wasn't able to find any connection to my Grandfather with any of those names. His mother's name has been consistent as (Sarah) Annie Turner but I have yet to find a marriage or a death certificate for her as I don't know where she was born or where she died nor who her parents are. One my great Uncle's (Frederick Joshua Gibson/Bascome 1883 Sandy's Bermuda) war draft card he listed her as Annie Gibson living in Maskwell Wavertree London England which leads me to believe she was most likely born in England and moved to Bermuda where she had 7 children named Gibson and moved back to England. I have thoroughly checked the marriage registry in Bermuda and no marriage record has been found. And help in finding out who this Annie Turner Gibson is would be greatly appreciated or if by any chance who my Grandfather's father was.

Not that I am aware.  She married a George Turner in England and had a son George Turner in England.  It seems then she came to Bermuda where she ?? remarried?? and had 7 other children one which was my Grand Father.  All of her children who were born Gibson remained in either Bermuda or the USA.  As some point Annie returned to England as it was stated on my Uncles Fred Bascom Gibson war draft card.

I don't know what info. would be on a birth in Bermuda but as you have all the details for her son George Sinclair Turner 1875 England her maiden name will be on that.

What was her name on the marriage "George Joseph Turner Feb 5, 1837 Sheffield, England"?

I haven't been able to locate a marriage certificate for her nor a birth certificate for her son.  I've tried searching the records on Ancestry but to no avail.  I'm assuming her maiden name is unknown and she married a Turner and then married a Gibson.  Or it could be her maiden name was Gibson.

Likewise, nothing on FREEBMD or GRO

The son possibly born plain George Turner or Sinclair or whatever  ???

Where did you find details of the birth year for George & the name/marriage date to George Joseph Turner?

That information I found from the Marilyn Simmons Tree from Bermuda who compiled all the information.  The tree had all the details correct for my known Grandfather's siblings and I had also found records where my Grandfather listed his mother as Annie Turner.

Does it contain a source for the marriage date & place?
Ditto for son George Sinclair?

No, unfortunately no attached sources.  They deal primarily with Bermuda records so all their Bermuda births, marriage and death records are souces from the Church Register and Birth Records.  But no sources for anything in England.
