Chalgrove birth of William Gifkins circa 1822 Completed
« on: Tuesday 11 August 09 12:27 UTC (UK) »
Could some kind sole please help me with my reseach of the Gifkins family of Chalgrove, and look up a birth.

I think there should be a birth of a William Gifkins in Chalgrove circa 1823 the son of William and Priscilla., and I would really like  to establish this.

There is an entry in the IGI for their marriage, though this is a submitted entry. I am sure these are the parents of my William though by 1841 he is not living with the family. In fact he never appears in any census, as I think he joined the Army. All his children say they are born all over the world. He passed away in Winchester after making a will in 1863. In the will he leaves everything to his wife Catherine ( she was born in Gibraltar ), including his house in Chalgrove, that is occupied by his father. Hence the link

He also mention a son called William, who is just as elusive, I can't find him in any census either.

Ultimately it is William granddaughter born circa 1880 I am linked to. But although I can find her in the census from 1891, she and her siblings say there were born in Folkestone, yet there is no record, nor are they ever with their parents. on her marriage certificate she gives her father as William Gifkins. But these Gifkins are giving me a real runaround.

Thanks

Clare
