Thomas Allibone was my G-G Grandfather who was born at 11, Hungerford Street, Cheltenham on 23 My 1839. He became a master joiner and lived at 68, St Georges Place, Cheltenham; his father Isaac Allibone lived there prior. He married Mary Ann Burge on 2 January 1862, who died following the birth of my G Grandmother Emma Allibone, the youngest of 10 children. Thomas remarried Mary Ann Powell on 17 May 1879, but remained in St George Place until his death on 12 April 1907. Emma married into the Daft family who were market gardeners in Cheltenham. Thomas's father Isaac Allibone was born in January 1815 in Grandborough, Warwickshire; he moved to Cheltenham, residing at 'Shurdington Cottage', Shurdington Road and married Sarah Pursey in Cheltenham on 9 July 1838, initially residing at 11, Hungerford Street, Cheltenham. He is listed in 1850-59 Slaters Commercial Directory living at 68, St Georges Place as a carpenter/joiner/builder and then moved to 47, West Cottage, Gloucester Road, St Marks, Cheltenham, just across the road from the Daft family, where he died on 30 January 1878. I have further information and photographs of Thomas's family should anyone be interested.
