Am wondering if anyone has any early information on the Gibbon family of Newport, Co. Mayo, around the mid 1850's and earlier. I am mostly interested in the parents and their backgrounds. I have a lot of info about 5 of the 12 children born to James and (possibly Marie Cain) Gibbon, but know nothing of the others nor of the parents. The five I have much on are:
1) Reuben Henry (b. about 1835), who later moved to Ramelton, Co. Donegal to raise a family and eventually to the US.
2) Annabel, who married an Edward Roycroft and moved to Dublin where she presumably died. They had a daughter, Florence Annie, who emigrated to the US.
3) William, who married a woman named Sarah and had 2 children, Alfred and Mary Emilie, both of whom emigrated to the US.
4) Edward John, b. abt 1854 who emigrated to Australia
5) Elizabeth (my GGrandmother), who married Duncan MacFarlane MacDougall, and moved to the US
