Henry GIBBINS
« on: Monday 14 February 22 15:15 GMT (UK) »
Hello. I have just registered  so forgive me if. I am doing this wrong. My name is Colin Holden. I am researching my 3x great grand uncle. I was directed to this site and found out quite a lot. I know that he and his family sailed to Belfast on the Duke of Richmond. I'm intrigued to find out as much as I can

Welcome, i'm sure we'd be happy to assist, but until you provide anything date or location wise, then there will be little that can be done.

There's a long Gibbins thread here with at least one Henry mentioned-
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=384880.45
reply #47 mentions a Henry landing in Belfast- not the one in Ireland-
The family story handed down states that Henry had a falling out with his brothers/family, packed his bags and left for Australia.  I can not confirm that the family had a falling out however, Henry and his family did part Britain and landed in Belfast (now Port Fairy) Victoria in March 1853.

Colin, if that's the topic of interest just post a reply there.
