Hello,
If you are descended from William Gabb who had children in the late 1700s/early 1800s in the Stonehouse/Kings Stanley area I would love to hear from you. William might have been a baptist as his son John was. I am desperately trying to find John's mother and IGI doesn't have a record that I can confidently fit.
Also any advice on finding ancestors who aren't IGI and who emigrated prior to the 1841 census would be much appreciated.
Regards,
AmandaP (nee Gabb)

Hi AmandaP,
If you look on the net in telstra's white pages, you will find at least one Gabb in Bathurst, NSW. She has a daughter that she may care to put you onto. Im sure that Gordon Gabb (Anglican and dec c1998) came from somewhere in England.
I will endeavour to make what enquiries Im able in the meantime
Hope that this helps.

Hi Robert & Karon,
Thank you. Do you mean that the "Gabb daughter" has traced her family tree or just that you know of some Gabbs from England?
Thanks,
Amanda

Hi Helen,
Thanks for your reply, I've sent you my email address via PM, as I can't access your email address through the forum. I'm sure we're related somewhere back there along the way, fingers crossed you have the Gabb branch I am looking for.
Regards,
Amanda

Amanda.
All I can be sure of is that there are Gabb's in Bathurst. Im sure too, that Mr Gordon Gabb (d c1998 in Bathurst) was of British descent.
If you would like, I could in due course ring them and ask if they know of his origins, which Im sure they do.
Cheers

Hi Robert & Karon,
I've had another look at my family tree and it is possible that Gordon Gabb was my grandfather's (William Norman ("Norm") Gabb) first cousin. I have a Gordon Gabb son of Alfred Gabb and Ida Span. Alfred b1874 was the son of William Gabb b1828 and Ann Green b 1837, William was the Son of John Gabb and Hester Walkley m1826. John was the son of William and ? - this is who I am searching for. Any Gabb cousin that I have spoken to hasn't gotten further back than this, however it is my goal to do so.
If you could phone the Gabbs in Bathurst that you know, I would really appreciate it. It is likely that Gordon is who I think he might be, most Gabbs in NSW are descended from John and Hester.
Thanks again!
Amanda

Amanda,
I have passed all this information to the Gabb family here in Bathurst. As well I have given them the link to this page and to rootschat. I will be in touch with them again in the next month or so and will prod them along. Gordons daughter was quite excited with the information that I had read from here. She is taking that information to her mothers for futher assessment and info gathering. They have done quite a bit on their genealogy to date.
Hoping this note finds you and yours in good health and in good spirits for 2007

Hi Robert & Karon,
Gordon Gabb in my tree had a brother Loyal Leslie Gabb and a sister Yvonne Gabb. One of his nephew's was a politician in the 80's.
At the end of last year, a cousin of mine sent me a little bit of info that she had that's not available from BDM yet so I have the children of Gordon Gabb - your lady must be the one I have in my tree. I don't have her mother's name and details however.
If this is the same people, feel free to PM me for my email address to pass on to Gordon's daughter.
I hope you are in good health and good spirits too.
Thanks for your help.

Hi, Amanda. As a matter of interest, my g.g.g.g grandfather, William Artus, married Hannah Gabb of Longney about 1823/4. I still haven't traced the marriage entry, so maybe they didn't actually marry.
-
HI Amanda
Do you have any connections with Newmans in Prestbury Gloucestershire?
Have I asked you before?

Hi Orinoco,
I'm sure we're connected somewhere, they say all Gabbs are related, but it could go back to the middle ages for all I know. Unfortunately I still haven't gotten further back with my Gabbs than as mentioned in my first post. My GGGG Grandfather William Gabb's wife was probably Sarah Alder, married in Kings Stanley in 1801 but I don't have anyway of linking this marriage to the birth of my GGG Grandfather John Gabb due to the poor quality of the Baptist records for this era.
Hi Sandee,
I haven't found much on my Newmans from Gloucestershire (Stround & Minchinhampton), I think you were one of the ladies who helped me find details on the censuses for Lucy S Newman my GGG Grandfather's sister (I think), Lucy was in my prayer book etc. We didn't have a connection with the Prestbury Newmans at that stage.
My Gabbs are from my Dad's side and my Newmans are from my Mum's side so its just a coincidence that I have two branches that go back to a similar area.
Amanda :)

Interesting reply, Amanda. I will go through the reams of paper I have and see what I can find cocerning the Gabbs, then get back to you.
-
Thanks Orinoco, I look forward to seeing what you have, fingers crossed you have the missing piece to my puzzle.
Regards,
Amanda

Just had a cursory look, Amanda, and came across these:
Henry Artus married Sarah Savage, Coaley, 1792, witness, Thomas Gabb and Mary .......?
Noah Smith married Edith Dangerfield, Coaley, 1792, witness, Joseph Chamberlain and Thomas Gabb.
Hopefully, more to follow.

Hi Orinoco,
Thanks for your replies. Do you have any birth records, particularly for a John Gabb born somewhere between 1795 to 1810 with a father's name William, somewhere in the Stroud area, probably Stonehouse or Kings Stanley?
Note William Gabb and Nancy Hill had a son John in 1804 in Cam but at this stage I don't believe its my John, a cousin had suggested it but my John was a baptist not an Anglican. I'm more interested in any children of William Gabb and Sarah Alder if records can be found.
Regards,
Amanda

Hello, Amanda. I have reference to a couple of John Gabbs who fit both the birth date and the location criteria in the 1851 Census.
John, 51, cloth worker, Randwick.
John, 57, Servant, Randwick.
Also.
John, 51, blacksmith, N. Nibley, plus an outsider,
John, 57, ag. lab. Kempley.
There is also a William Gabb, 77, widower, born Hucclecote, in the workhouse at Gloucester.
Back to the mill................ :)
-
Thanks Orinoco but unfortunately my John Gabb emigrated to Sydney, Australia in 1837 and he was a sawyer/carpenter. Thanks for trying.
-
Should have looked at your profile :-[ Wondered why your posts were always in the middle of the night! Anyway, if I come across anything that looks relevant, I'll let you know.

O.K, thank you! :)

Hiya Orinoco, I had to contact you after I saw you talking about Hannah Gabb from Longney.
I am looking into my family tree, and I believe that my Great Great Great Great Grandfather was George Gabb (born 1796) married to Anne Wilkins (born 1803). George was a blacksmith from Longney. I have been to St Lawrence church in Longney and found the headstone of Hannah Gabb (died 1826 aged 60 years). I am yet to make the connection of Hannah to my line of Gabb's, I was wondering if you might have any information that may help?
Have you seen the headstone or do you know what the inscription read?
I can't wait to hear back from you

Hi
I have a Caroline Gabb marrying Thomas Hope in my tree. They were married 7 december 1840. Children Teresa Gabb Hope and William Gabb Hope. They were in the Newent and Oxenhall areas
-
Hello, Kelly. Sorry about the delay. No, I haven't seen the headstone, but will take a look next time I visit Gloucester records office. Sounds fascinating. If you want to take a look at my tree, it's at http://www.artus-familyhistory.com/source/Early%20Maps.html/source/Artus%20Family%20Tree.html
Not quite sure that Hannah and my ggg grandfather actually married (hangs head in shame) :)
I'll see what info I have in my paperwork. Might be something of interest to you.
