Do you know which part of Kent he lived in. There are so many John Gibson deaths it's difficult to know which is the correct one. |

I wondered about the 1911 being the right one as no mention of being born in Ireland and i haven't found a marriage 8 +/-years to a Fullwood |

my great grandad was born in 1904 his dad who is the one im trying to trace was born in roughly 1885 give or take and hes the one who married mary ellen fullwood after she and john divorced she married christopher milaine they then adopted a boy called victor so john and victor were step brothers |

you could look at http://www.freebmd.org.uk for possible marriages in Kent but there isn't one just John Vincent or John V |
