'Wag' an ancient term for Ruffian or Truant, often given to Charles of that disposition I believe.

Just in case * has no idea who I am - I am Eva Slades nephew, her sister Flossie's son John Mumford. Eva was the daughter of Florence Ada Carpenter, Elizabeth Gibbard was her mother-in-law.

There were Gibbards on South Island from about 1850, in business etc, that came from Oxfordshire, Berkshire area of England. This could be one of them. I'm following up on a step-sister of Charles Gibbard following him out to New Zealand.
I have discovered that William, a son of Charles, was in fact married to Delicia Russell ? and they had children. So more to follow up in the BMD records I guess. In order to get at electoral rolls for NZ I have to pay a substantial premium to Ancestry over my existing subscription, so I guess I will leave that until our depression here blows over (sometime in 2125 apparently!)
Thanks again for your help it is much appreciated.

I think Charles came out to New Zealand on his own in about 1885. The rest of the family split up after his mother's untimely death in 1862.

How do I get at the free Electoral Rolls and census returns for New Zealand from England?
Can I obtain printouts or similar?
Again thanks for you efforts, I now have the family tree from Charles Gibbard and Ellen Parnell, (strangely no mention of the rest of the Parnell family who disappeared from Suffolk, England about 1890). Charles and Ellens children, but still no clue as to which child visited us in Banbury, Oxfordshire in 1954/55.
Do you have records of temporary emigration form New Zealand?
Thanks again.

Inverness / Re: Gibbards of Inverness

Thank you for the contact:- William Edward Gibbard (Ted) born Bloxham, Oxfordshire on 8/3/1891. Married Olive Rose Grant of Rugby, Warwickshire possibly in 1917 at Daventry, (but I need to confirm this by obtaining the marriage certificate). He joined the army, when I don't know, but appears to have had children whilst abroard on service, (again to be confirmed). He died in Raigmore Hospital 28/11/1971.

I'm overwhelmed, thank you so much, I've spent some considerable time trying to trace this family, possibly because they must have gone steerage to get to New Zealand. Thank you, can I have some time to digest this lot of treasures and get back with a firmer idea of the family structure and any questions. Again thank you.

Inverness / Gibbards of Inverness
« on: Tuesday 29 November 11 18:22 GMT (UK) »
I am researching the Gibbards, father William Edward was an army man. Originally in the Royal Garrison Artillery, stationed in India, Burma perhaps Gibralter, etc. Settled in Inverness, presumably when his army service finished, and was a Barracks Warden (which is?).
Died about 1971, with perhaps five children (who are they). Trying to find out children's names but need census or voter lists etc. Any details gratefully received, especially William Edward's Army record.
