I have the following monumental inscription from the churchyard at St. Lawrence, Biddulph which is in the district of Congleton.
James GIBSON, 20 Oct 1855, 63
Hannah, w, 22 June 1871, 75
Also the undermentioned children of the above:
Lois, 9 Oct 1842, 5ys
Isaac, received a fatal accident, 19 Nov 1844, 15
Charles, shared the same fate, 19 Nov 1844, 10
Elizabeth 22 Oct 1846, 18
Hannah, 3 Sept 1848, 15
Ralph ****** 1848, **
I was curious as to the nature of the accident that caused Isaac's and Charles' death so I thought to buy their death certificates. I can easily locate Charles but there is no mention of Isacc in the records other than an Isaac Gibson who died in Durham in the same quarter and year. As the volume has a different number and page to the one I located Charles in, I have discounted it as being mistranscribed. There is a James Gibson on the same page as Charles but this is not their older brother as he is still alive in 1951 and Isaac has definitely disappeared from the 1951 census. Any ideas please why I can't find him?
