something interesting . . .

[Simon7]

Right i have a person on my tree

Samuel gibbs born 1881surlingham., not to be confused with the one with George as middle name.

He is in the 1901 census with his parents., last child to leave

Now this where it gets strange., he is not in the 1911 census

Can not find a marriage or a death for him.

He didn't move country neither.

So i don't know what happened to him. .

 

[Simon7]

Someone please

patience is a virtue.

just because you have not had a response, it does not mean members are not looking.

I have had a look without success which is not surprising seeing as you cannot find him either, but I did notice in 1911 Sarah was in a workhouse

HI,

I'm probably being a bit thick but who is Sarah? Is Samuel and Mary Samuels parents?

Samuel's sister I would think, the parents appear to be Samuel and Mary.

This is them in 1891
Piece: 1537

Edit: She's not with the family in 1901

There are only 3 births 1879-1882 that would come close to a birth of 1880, this being the closest:
