Hi Conrad
If alice's death is registered 1901 then children born before that date will be hers.

Couldn't find a Sidney Herbert Gibbs, but there is this registration in Dec 1909

Births Dec 1909 (>99%)
Gibbs Sidney Albert Strood 2a 676

Assuming his father was at home on the night of the 1911 census you would be able to find his name from that, or you could buy the birth certificate.

The 1911 is pay per download I'm afraid. There are some clever people out there who magically manage to get info out of the 1911 but unfortunately I don't know how to do it yet!!!

Could you let us know what it is.

Thanks

Hi, I am trying to find my husbands Great Grandfather who we know lived in Westerham, Kent in 1909. As his daughter Ivy Sarah Boakes was born there on the 2nd of May 1909. I am also trying to find the father of Sidney Herbert Gibbs who was also born in Westerham on the 20th of December 1909.
Kind Regards & Many Thanks
