Hi Larry, My great-grandparents were also John and Mary Gibbons who ran a boarding house on West River Rd in the Flats. While the names and ages are right, the children and the Chicago connection don't match. My John and Mary had 3 children as well Mary, Hannah (Hannah Gibbons elementary school in Cleveland is named after her) and my grand father Patrick (nicknamed Perk). All of the these children remained in the Cleveland area their whole lives.
