Would it be possible for someone to look up a birth/marriage for me?
William Gibson born Chatham, Kent 1802. He is shown on 1841 Census with his wife Jane (single name not known) and children in Middlesex his occupation is "shipwright". Their eldest child on the Census is shown as "15" (on the 1851 she is "25"). This hopefully means that they married before 1826
Unfortunately on the 1841 Census in Chatham there is another William Gibson, born kent, of the same age and he is also a "shipwright", but there is no wife recorded.
On the 1851 Census Jane's birthplace is shown as Melksham Wiltshire, but with no surname it would be nearly impossible to find a marriage there. I was hoping that they married in Chatham!
It is therefore possible that two William Gibson's were born/baptised in 1801/02.
Any help in knocking down this brickwall would be gratefully received.
