I am new to this mailing list so I hope my message is OK. BACKGROUND Gibbon FITZGIBBON m Catherine HURLEY and lived at Barron 1817, Barrack Street 1819-1821 in Clonakilty and Castle Freke 1827 in Cork, Ireland before taking his family to England abt 1828. I have found that Edmond, the son, was " educated in London "; " went to London when he was five "; " the family moved to England " Therefore the family likely moved to England in 1828 when Edmond was five. This information was found in Australian newspapers as Edmond came to Victoria in September 1852 - gold rushes. This was an educated family as Edmond was awarded the Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George for his services to the Community of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. 1841 Census England, Middlesex, St Giles in the Fields, Tower Street Gibbon Fitzgibbon General Dealer b Ireland age 60 Edmund Fitzgibbon clerk b Ireland age 15 Margt Fitzgibbon General Dealer b Ireland age 40 Margt Fitzgibbon b Ireland age 14 [Edmund's sister] [As yet I do not know who the Margaret age 40 is as Gibbon was married to Catherine HURLEY] Marriage I have found a marriage of Margaret HURLEY to Gibbon FITZGIBBON at St Anne's Soho 1835 - perhaps Catherine had died and Gibbon married her sister.

There should be a death date. I've just searched their military records and there seem to be a few relevant results. Anne South Australia

Hello Valerie Is there a connection between the Fitzgibbon and CAREW Families? I noticed the CAREW name in your post, because they had large land holdings in the Beddington /Carshalton area for centuries. If it was a family name this maybe worth investigating. I have several books about the area but FITZGIBBON is not mentioned in any index. Best of luck Sheila NSW

Valerie, a Chelsea Pensioner is someone who has served in the Army and is now retired. I'm sure there must be records for them.
