Hi all
Having no luck at the moment locating George Tibbs and his elusive offspring.
Cannot find a birth date or baptismal record for George that seems to fit.
In 1827, he married Elizabeth Dudman/Dobbin who was born in Wiltshire in 1790.
They had 3 or 4 children:
Mary Ann in 1828: https://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-b...&rhSource=2162
Thomas Samuel in 1831: https://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-b...&rhSource=2241
and either a William in 1834: https://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-b...=successSource
or then died and a second William was baptised in 1837: https://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-b...=successSource
or the same child who for some reason was baptised twice
The trouble is that I cannot find any evidence of George and the children practically after their births. In the 1841 census Elizabeth Tibbs is in Dorset, with Betty Hamilton who also started her life as an Elizabeth Tibbs before she married Robert Hamilton and had a son Andrew who by 1841 was in America. George Tibbs must be related to Betty somehow, but despite trying to establish the connection, have had no luck thus far. Also with them are Isaac, Emily and George Townsend who were Elizabeth's nephews and niece. https://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-b...=successSource
Elizabeth in 1851 is with another niece, Diana, who married George Gartrell: https://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-b...=successSource
And in 1861 is visiting: https://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-b...=successSource
She died in 1869: https://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-b...&rhSource=8767
I think this could be daughter Mary Ann Tibbs in 1841: https://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-b...=successSource
But apart from that, I cannot find any trace of George and the children or work out where George was originally from - I suspect Dorset, but could be way off track. And no luck thus far finding them emigrating anywhere.
All and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
