Lesley, if you have the time, I am looking for Arthur Gibson, born 1889-1890 and died in the 1940's. His name was very common in Yorkshire and I am waiting for his birth cert as there are 2 possibilities. I can't find his death record, have been through the records many times. I was told, although he lived in Stroud, he died after an op in London. My aunt thinks it was Roehampton, which is Wandsworth district. She said my mother was 17 or 18 at the time which would make his death year 1942/1943. I would be so grateful if you could manage to find what I can't...Teresa

Hi Thank you so much for all the information on the Phipps family. Can I come back to two other Phipps-you said I hadn't given you Charles W. Pearce birth year, it was 1867 and he was born in Northampton. He was still living in Northampton with his mother Sarah in 1891 in Sunnyside Cliftonville Northampton but then I lost him.(Cliftonville is an area in Northampton, its not the seaside town!) Does this date help. Can you find any other trace of him -1901? Death? Also, did you find anything on John Phipps b1860/1 , silk merchant in Hampstead in 1901-just rest of household would be great You did say you were bored!! Chris Now I've really read all the info you sent I can see that Eleanor Phipps was staying with her sister in laws family in 1891 so that's nice, it gives a little insight to the family. Chris
