MEET THE COUSINS (8) THE CHILDREN OF JOE AND MARY (MOLLY) GIBSON

8.  Joseph Gibson b 1913 - 1994

"Joe married Mary Milburn (Molly b 1912 - 1988), on the 14th December 1935 in the Parish of St Aiden's Newcastle upon Tyne, they were married for 53 years.  Joe was a foreman at Vickers Armstrong, he lived at Denton Burn, Newcastle upon Tyne.  

Sadly the only photographs I have is of a much older Uncle Joe and Aunty Molly.  My parents and Joe and Molly, visited each other regularly until their death."

"They had two sons, Kenneth (who had 3 girls) and Colin who married and moved south but they saw my mum and dad (Molly and Foster) occasionally, but again I have no photographs of my cousins. 

I have no dates of the deaths for either of my cousins.

The 1939 Register records that Joe and Molly were living at 19 Shaftoe Street, Scotswood, Newcastle upon Tyne, very close to the Vickers Armstrong Works, and not far from Tom Gibson Snr and his  wife Mary (Polly) and family, as well as Janet Dent (nee Clark) her husband Luke Dent and family."
