The Sinclair Family
Gilbert Scott Sinclair was born around 1872 and worked as a pattern maker or fitter at Treeton Colliery. He died in 1944.
He was married twice - first wife Mary Jones with whom he had 4 children. Mary appears to have moved from Wales with at least two of her sisters Marian and Helen.
Children of Gilbert and Mary:
- Gwen, born in 1905
- Gilbert born in 1906
- Conrad (birth year not known but possibly 1907)
- Phyllis born in 1908
Gilbert married the second time to Elizabeth Beatrice (born 12.09.1893?) - she seems to have come from a Sheffield family called Gray.
Children of Gilbert and Elizabeth:
- Winifred born in 1913
- Daisy
- Reginald
- Edna born 1921
- Beatrice
- Trixie born 1925
- Audrey born 1929
Elizabeth Beatrice died in 1949.
It has been suggested that Gilbert Scott Sinclair was born in the Forest of Dean or Drybrook. His children recall being told that he played with the children of 'the gentry' and his father may have been a vet. The family also believe that at least for a time he worked for Home and Colonial Stores.
Research suggests that Gilbert may have changed his name as the 1901 census shows a Gilbert S. Scott of the same age, born in Forest of Dean, living at Norton where Mary Jones, born in Wales, was also living in Norton in 1901.
