NEW LOCAL SEARCH - GIBBONS

From Gillian Staniforth - My mother's maiden name was Gibbons, her father's name, Frank Gibbons and grandfather, John Gibbons. I have just come across a bible which my mother never saw. We knew her father's family came from Kent, there is a long list of names in it, but on the back cover there is written "Rose Gibbons, West Farleigh, near Maidstone. July 1888". I wonder if you could help me a little, please. As I live in Wales it is a little far to go but worth it if the name appears anywhere. Thanks.

In the same beautiful handwriting in the bible these names appear:-

George Gibbons born Oct.13 1822
Caroline Gibbons born Aug. 27 1825
George Gibbons born Aug. 13 1848
Caroline Gibbons born Sept. 27 1850
Frederick Gibbons born Aug. 31 1852
Stephen Gibbons born Feb. 7 1857
Mark Gibbons born July. 7 1857
John Gibbons (my great grandfather) born June 19 1859
Horace Gibbons born Dec. 8 1861
William Gibbons born Jan. 2 1865
Amos Gibbons born Mar. 10 1868

John Gibbons married Olive Mace at Ditton Church on Feb 22nd 1882
