Thank you, ggrocott and Annette7! On my tree on familysearch Elizabeth GIBBS was inputted (it's a public tree, so anyone can contribute). As I was going through, I noticed she was a little "suspicious", so I tried researching to find solid evidence of their marriage and such. I only found two indexed records, one in Australia which has been confirmed as false, and one in Birdham, Sussex, which jonw65 has found the images to support! The only other "sources" of information were other family trees on familysearch, ancestry, and myheritage. But none of these really had any sources to prove their information and there were so many variations. So I tried digging and digging as best I could to find actual documents. I kept coming up empty-handed, so that's when I posted here. Thanks to jonw65, I now have the solid evidence I need to support me detaching Elizabeth GIBBS from my tree on familysearch and replacing her with Elizabeth RUSSELL. Thank you again, jonw65!!

Thank you, Annette7 for all those names and dates! I will be checking what's on my familysearch tree with what you have provided!

It has been pointed out that I have two other posts about this topic. I just wanted to apologize for that. Since there were three places I was unsure of, I thought I should post to the three different boards. I realize now that I shouldn't have and it's unnecessary. I will not do that again in the future.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to help me with this! I can't say thank you enough!!

Thank you SO MUCH for your help, jonw65!! I thought since there were three places I was questioning, I should post to the three location sites. I did not know I should only post once. I am sincerely sorry!! I greatly appreciate your help in finding those records!!! I couldn't have asked for more! Those records were exactly the evidence I was hoping to find and couldn't on my own. I was not able to reply until now, so I apologize if I offended! Again, thank you very, very much!!!

Thank you, osprey! I did not even think to check that.

KGarrad, I am not sure. I am not too familiar with England. One tree lists "Southwick, Hants" as her birthplace. Some of their children were born in Southwick, Hampshire, so I assumed it was the same place. But I would not rule out Southwick, Sussex. A lot of my ancestors are from different areas of Sussex, so it could have been inputted wrong or something. If there's a way to check both places, that would be a huge help!

Australia / Marriage and Birth record - Elizabeth GIBBS/RUSSELL
« on: Monday 05 March 18 19:13 GMT (UK)  »
UPDATE: No more assistance is needed. Thank you for your help!

I am trying to figure out which record is true concerning the wife of an ancestor. Below is what I have found.

William GADD b. abt 1759 in Brede/Birdham, Sussex, England
Wife: Elizabeth (GIBBS or RUSSELL) b. 1759 or 1761 or 1766 in Brede, Sussex, England or Southwick, Hampshire, England or Sydney, Australia
Marriage: 18 JUN 1783 in Birdham/Brede, Sussex, England or Southwick, Hampshire, England or Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

I was hoping for help in verifying any marriage of William GADD and/or births of Elizabeth GIBBS/RUSSELL in Sydney. If there are none, that helps, too!

On different family trees I have searched, they have varying combinations of Elizabeth listed above, all showing marriage to William GADD and having some if not all their children as well (firstborn was 1785/1786 in Sussex, England). The only indexed record I can find is an Elizabeth RUSSELL m. 18 JUN 1783 Birdham, Sussex, England to William GADD. Currently, my tree shows an Elizabeth GIBBS b. 1761 in Sussex, m. 1783 in Sussex/Hampshire to William GADD, but there is no attached record to prove it and the same Elizabeth is linked to another marriage (1788 to William Simmonds) that does not make sense.

Thank you!
