Death Notice Townsville - GIBBS

[Jeans Girl]

Hi Jenn,

Thank you so much for all the information you have given me.Unfortunately it looks like he was over there by himself as his wife died in 2004 in Dunedin.
There was the possibility that he may have been visiting Family but not sure.??

I am Ralph Grantley Gibbs's neice and was wondering where your connection with Ralph is. I have done a little research in various parts of the family but unfortunately the closest relatives in time have been the hardest to trace.

Hi

I think we have some relatives in common - ralph's mother is the niece of my great great grandfather. hope that makes sense. Ralph's great great grandparents are George Cockburn and Mary Lea Hush and it is their son Walter that is my great great grandfather.

I would love to hear from any of you that are related

Yes we will be related with that history.  The Cockburn Family had a reunion in 1984 and a family tree was started by the organiser Rae Vernon of Roxburgh NZ and a ? Russell De latour but unfortunately I didn't get any further information. A skelton tree was there at the time and my Uncle and I were able to update our side. My Grandmother ( Ralphs mother) was Georgina Brennan and she had 3 sons and a daughter - my mother.
Would be interested to hear what you have found as they have all passed on now.
