I'm trying to find more information on William Gibson and his family. He was married to Elizabeth Gibson, had 4 daughters Shirley, June, Betty and Brenda and one son William. They lived in Silksworth in Sunderland. I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who can shed any more light on them please.

The 1954 marriage of Shirley Gibson to Christopher R Thubron is actually my grandparents.

My great grandfather is William Wilson Gibson born 31.12.1910 and married to Elizabeth Jobling in 1934. I'm tryin to track down both their sets of parents but not having much luck or have the knowledge to do it.

Thank you all for your help, its much appreciated.
