GIBBINS, BALLARD and other Ancestors

Photo tree (last three generations)
Welcome to my web site!

This site records the known ancestral history of Owen Gibbins.
Many hours of work have been put into the research and documentation of these ancestors. I hope you will benefit from the information I present here.
Some of the information presented results from the research of a number of family members. Some of their work helped give me a head start on accumulating this information.
In particular, my sister Helen has done an enormous amount of research and viewed many, many microfilms.

Please contact me if you wish to learn more about the source details of this information. I may well have more than is presented.
Note that I haven’t had much time lately to devote to family history research so responses might not always be quick.

Acknowledgement must be given for the sources of significant quantities of the material from family histories that started this research. These are:

  • R.I.P. - The SANDERSON Family, Morpeth, NSW, Australia - by Christine Mavin, (data on our mother's side) and
  • The VINCENT Variety - The Family Tree of Robert and Fanny VINCENT, Northern Wairoa and Auckland, New Zealand
    - by Lyn J Vincent and Robyn C Goyen (data on our father's side)

N.B.    Take Care!! - Not all relationships or events have been 100% proven.
I usually only include relationships I have a high degree of confidence in, but some details are the result of research by others that I have not yet validated.
In these cases, notes to that effect are generally included - refer to the notes and sources listed.
