Hello Jean
Your Annie doesn't fit into the Kings Norton Gibbards I have so I've looked a little further. I can't find any Gibbards born Stratford upon Avon on the 1901 census so assumed your information about Annie and siblings having been born in Stratford and checked the CRI for Stratford and found about 20 of them! This family had a daughter called Annie born Sept Q 1889 Stratford upon Avon - she would have been 25 when your William was born. I found her on the 1891 census living in Bearley which is 4mls NW of Stratford upon Avon and Bearley would be in the Stratford upon Avon registration district so this much ties up. Her father was John Gibbard bc 1840 Idbury, Glos and his wife Elizabeth died Sept Q 1889 Stratford presumably giving birth to Annie. They definitely had 8 children including a daughter Catherine who could have been known as Kit - she was 2 years younger than Annie. There are births for another 3 children who could also be their offspring and another 6 children all born between 1891 and 1982 who definitely aren't their children. If any of this sounds likely please contact me at
carol@alansmith.co.uk and I will let you have all the information I have on this family.
Regards
Carol
