Gibbs Family - Marston Sicca

[tracerstlm]

Searching for Gibbs family in Marston Sicca mid-late 1700's.  Particularly William Gibbs (b. abt 1779) marriage to Elizabeth ?? (b. abt 1785).  She is from Welford-On-Avon.  Unsure which village they married in.  Found an Ann Gibbs married in Marston Sicca in 1805, perhaps a relation?  Any help or suggestions at all appreciated.  No luck with Ancestry.com worldwide membership.

Hi,While i have no idea where Marston Sicca is in Gloucestershire,and you have had no replies to your request this may be of help?
      Gibbs are not my family however i have come across a Catherine Gibbs who married a William Malson in 1798 in English Bicknor ,Catherine was of about the same time line you are searching 1778 i think of Abenhall.
       While searching for the Malson family some of whom were baptised at Mitcheldean ,i came across this entry for a William Gibbs Baptised 12th July 1778 father also William no mothers name.
        Abenhall and Mitcheldean are quite close together i believe,there are more Gibbs in this area.
              Good luck and good hunting

Thanks!  I will have to check into those locations.  I have found out that Marston Sicca is now Long Marston.  It is about 5mi from Stratford-upon-Avon where the family wound up.  I have also found additional children (all girls except my 3rd great grandfather).  One never married.  Just today I found the other one after painstakingly going through census records - her birthplace had been transcribed incorrectly so she was hard to find!

I don't know if this will help me get any replies, but the family is William & Elizabeth Gibbs with children Sarah (b. 1812-1816, every census record is different), Henry (b. abt 1815), Mary (b. abt 1821-1822, married a Samuel Scott), and Ellen or Helen (b. abt 1825).  I have 2 census records with her, one says Ellen and the other says Helen.  I've researched both names but haven't found a marriage record or death record.  But, I just started on these today so I am hopeful that perhaps some of this information will get me somewhere!?!?  All these Gibbs children were born in Long Marston/Marston Sicca.  But I have found no birth records on Ancestry.com.  I've been given a site that sells CD's of parish records and Long Marston is listed.  I will probably give up and purchase that and hope that I find something. 

Thanks again!!

P.S.  I was just told by someone in Welford-On-Avon today that Marston Sicca was in Gloucestershire until 1930 when it changed to Warwickshire.

Hello.
My name is Bob Gibbs.
 I have just return to my home in Ripley New York after doing research in Stratford Upon Avon. I found that My ancestors Lived on 56 and 57 Waterside Street in Stratford Upon Avon. My 4 greats and a grandfather William Henry Gibbs was born in Long Marston and Married Elizabeth Taylor of Stratford Upon Avon. They had 3 children. 3 girls and a boy. I've been doing my research for about ten years and don't get very far. If you believe you are from this family,  please contact me at  ^(*)
 I look forward to anyone who can help me or I them.
