Hi Karen,

I think you might be able to help us please. My husband has started researching his family tree and his ancestors are John Gibbs and Maria Supardo. Would you be so kind as to post any other information from the marriage record that you have, it would be a great help to us. Many, many thanks!!

Hi Deb,

Many thanks for your help. We are having trouble finding Maria Supardo's birth and parents. We think the name might have Portugese origins. Have you managed to go back a generation to either John or Maria's parents? If we have our research correct, they had a son Thomas John Gibbs who is our 3rd Grt Grandad.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! many, many thanks - our list of Supardos has finally fallen into place. We didn't have the info of John Gibbs as a witness at Eliza's wedding which connects Maria to the rest of the family. The red herring marriage to William Erwin had also thrown us. We also have a note of a marriage between Maria Supardo and John Gills, but we'll put that down to a typo on 'Gibbs'.

I also have an Amelia Supardo marriage in Stepney 1847, so I'm thinking she might be a sister to Theresa, Eliza, Maria and Edwin Paul. 

Thanks again,
Si and Jane

No worries, Si and Jane

I have had terrible trouble finding any of the Supardos in the censuses...I suspect being an unusual name that it has been mistranscribed in the indexing process, but even so, I thought I was being fairly creative in my searching but came up with nothing.

Hi everyone

I searched madly yesterday for any of them in 1841 with absolutely no luck!

I did manage to find James and Theresa Johnstone ...

When and where was Thomas John Gibbs born?

 - has an interesting hit regarding Louis Supardo, a mariner of George St, Limehouse, to do with, it looks like, some property of the Joseph Micheli of "Leghorn" (Livorno), Italy.   If you aren't able to visit in person, you can order a copy of this document from the NA (they should be able to do it easily as it gives page numbers and the total number of pages).
