Gabbett Needham and Sarah Kirwan
« on: Saturday 24 April 21 11:40 BST (UK) »
I can only find 2 mentions of Gabbett Needham.  Firstly, he witnessed the marriage of John Cathcart and Ann Bowles in Dublin in 1848.  Secondly, the Parliamentary Papers Volume 44, ... Keeper of the Public Records in Ireland lists Gabbett Needham and Sarah Kirwan, an M.L. (Marriage Licence ?) in 1839.
I can't find any trace of the marriage or Gabbett Needham, or birth nor death.
I know that the Needhams, Kirwans and Gabbetts were Landed Gentry in Ireland with connections to the Legal profession and the Church of Ireland and the British Army.
He signed the marriage Register as Gabbett Needham but perhaps Gabbett wasn't a Christian name but a middle name, maybe from some previous marriage of a Needham to a Gabbett.
I'm wondering why he would be attending the wedding of a House Servant ( John Cathcart).
Can anybody find out more about Gabbett ... the mystery man/ woman?

So, that is interesting.

I found the references for ‘Gabbett’ of Mount Street Lower but then those several for ‘Gilbert’  :-\

I can’t see a death for Gabbett/Gilbert.

thanks for that ... I'll keep following up these leads.  I have no ancestral connection that I know of but when you find the same 10 names intertwined throughout my ancestral cousins it adds to the mysteries.  cheers, Ian

after checking your link to libraryireland I think I may have stumbled on another of the Rev: Alexander Leeper's ( Leiper) phonetic miss-writing at speed.  He was the Rector of St Auden's and Canon of the Cathedral and I've seen several Marriage Certificates where he has filled out all the details and the wedded couple have made their marks ( X ).
As the Gabbett Needham search was otherwise unfruitful I'll chase up GILBERT NEEDHAM instead. 
Many thanks, Ian
