Biography

Reuben Richard Giles was born in 1838 in Eton Wick, Buckinghamshire, England to Henry Giles and Mary (Gurney) Giles.

• He is most likely the Ruben Giles whose birth was registered in Eton in the third quarter of 1838.^[1] However there is no mother's maiden name listed with that record - which would normally indicate the mother was unmarried, whereas Reuben's parents married in 1827 and his sibling's births were all registered with mother's maiden name Gurney.
