Hello. I'm not connected to Gribbin but a family of that name lived next door to my folks in Whitehaven before and during WW1.

What a small world! Do you know their names? I've been madly searching for leads on the remaining Gribbin/en families scattered throughout England, Scotland & Ireland. They had quite large families too, so there'd be quite a few more to be found. My father was born in Billingham, & I was born in Middlesbrough England, but now live in Australia. Be'l

Surnames: GRIBBIN LOWERY
I have an Elizabeth GRIBBIN in my family tree b.1880 Whitehaven, in Whitehaven in the 1901 census as a servant in an Inn and married James LOWERY in 1905. The marriage certificate says her father was John GRIBBIN, a tailor. I can't find Elizabeth or her father on earlier censuses and can't find her with her husband or children in the 1911.

Any connection to your Whitehaven Gribbins?

Hi,

My husband originally posted this message, because my maiden name is Gribbin, so I hope we can eventually link up our families. So far, my Gribbin's were mostly hauliers, innkeepers, & labourers, but you never know.

I've searched for your Elizabeth Gribbin in the censuses, & found that there is a John Gribbin, 32 yrs, a tailor, born Isle of Man, living at 4 Kitchins Bdgs, Catherine St, Whitehaven in 1890. His wife is Margaret, 32 yrs, born Whitehaven. Children are Mary A, 11 yrs, Sarah, 7 yrs, Alice, 5 yrs, Maggie, 2 yrs, & Elizabeth, 8 months - all were born Whitehaven. The surname is mistranscribed as "Grilben", so it would have been harder to find.

I can't find them yet in 1891, but by 1901 there are two more children named Edward (14 yrs), & Joseph (10 yrs). As you know, Elizabeth is known as "Lizzie" in 1901; she's a servant at 24 Market Place, Bird In Hand Inn.

By 1911 Margaret Gribbin is a widow; her son, Joseph, is still living with her.

I hope this gives you a good start. Please let me know if I can help you any more. If you give me the names & ages of Elizabeth & James' children, or other details, I can try to find them in 1911 for you.

Kind regards, Be'l
