Research Notes
- Robert Gibson this Robt' has a Parish Record, marriage in 1702, we just need to make sure this is the same man that is listed on the Ship Batchelor" November 1674 from Bristoll, England. Another [citation needed]. added him to image list attached.
- If this is the right man, let us say he was 16 years old when the Batchelor made the voyage, in 1674, he then married in 1702, at the age of 44, that would give him a year of birth of 1658.
- That would be ok...The current birth year is an estimate giving the bride/groom the ages of 22/20 for the bride. Looks good. now to prove it.
