Abiathar was Gaon until approximately 1112. His son did not reign as Gaon. This is great, I can include Geonim of Bavel as well

Details
Solomon was the son of Elijah ben Solomon ha-Cohen, who had reigned as Gaon from 1062-1083. Solomon was named after his grandfather Solomon ben Joseph ha-Cohen, who had been Gaon for six months in the middle of 1025.

Solomon grew up in Jerusalem

As recounted in Megillat Abiathar, written by his brother Abiathar, Solomon was appointed to the post of Av Beit Din of the Palestinian Yeshiva in a grand ceremony in 1082(?). From Abiathar's account we learn that Solomon had formerly held the rank of "the Third" in the yeshiva. The Megillah also recounts that he fled Tyre 1093 due to the persecution of the followers of Daniel ben David. He is later found in Damascus.

Solomon's son Masliah succeeded his father as Gaon but in Cairo. the Gaon in Damascus became Abraham ben Mazhir, who scholars conjecture was Solomon's son-in-law.
