Gualter Gibbins (Gibbings)

Posted by Paul Gibbings on 8/8/2024, 4:44 am

Gualter Gibbins was Baptised at St Matthews Church Coleridge on 15th August 1584. He was also recorded as Gualter Gibbings (slight name change there) father of George in the same church records on 21st November 1602. However, I do not have any marriage record for him. Is there a quick way to find out when, where and to whom he married?

Unbelievable Chris to see your research, my line back shows clearly where our lines separate at NICHOLAS Gibbins B. 29.3.1660 (4) and his son also Nicholas (5) but becoming Gibbings from thereon.
I live in Melbourne Australia, visited Coldridge twice once when the parish register was still held in the Church.

Very happy to continue to communicate via email if this is amenable to you?
Paul

Closest I could find in Coldridge was a Gylbert Gosbon (sic) and Anne Shirks or Stirks on 15.06.1599.

the John Gibbins who married Judith died at ExeterSt Edmund 1591, she went on to marry a Richard Courtis the following year in same church.
There is another John Gibbins marriage Coldridge but it is after the baptisms of the children I have already found, this might be the one on the protestation return.
Might be worth investigating the other names on the Protestation return.
Hope this helps

I am working on a study of the surname Gibbins and variations in the Southwest.

The name Gualter is a variation of Walter

I have not found a marriage for him. The mother of his children is shown as Jane.

Doing research in these early years is never quick or easy!!!

I have more details on this family in Coleridge.

Best wishes Chris.

The Protestation return for 1641 gives the name as Gibbings, with Humphrey, John, Thomas and WALTER.
I found a baptism Bartholemew 22.12.1585 could be a brother to "Walter", same fathers name.

Possible marriage Exeter, 13.9.1583 to Judith Stubridg
Not sure of distance between the two.
Try looking for a burial of Judith Gibbings, and see if anything turns up.

Coldridge on the main coaching route to Exeter, so would have been possible, that John was working in Exeter at some tume, or was a coachman travelling the route.
