Biography

John Gibbs was born in Little Eversden, Cambridgeshire, England in about 1817^[2], and was christened there on 7 November of that year^[1]. He was the son of John Gibbs, a shoemaker, and Margaret(ta) Gibbs, née Howard.

John also became a shoemaker^[2].

John apparently disappears from English records after 1851, and it seems possible that the family emigrated, like John's sisters Ann and Sarah and possibly his brothers William and George.
