I have tried and tried to persuade my family tree programme to allow me to send the tree in PDF format and all it does is make the computer hang. To say that this is frustrating just doesn't come anywhere near how I feel. I tried to send a Gedcom file to Sandy and they couldn't open it. I just don't know what else to do at the moment. I am going to ask some of the really clever people on www.British-genealogy.com
because they have never failed me yet. It might take a while but I will be sending out copies of the tree as soon as I can.
I thought I would put this picture one here because it is the one that prompted Cousin Yvonne to say "Look at all those Gibbon noses, like a row of coathooks"
It is quite funny actually because there are only two Gibbon noses in the picture!
From the left we have Phyllis Gibbon, wife of Frederick Charles Gibbon mother of Cousin Andy; Mary Carlson, formerly Gibbon, wife of Hilmer, mother of Yvonne, Jackie, Colin and Paul; Renee James wife of Ken James (with the handlebar moustache) close army friend of Bernard Gibbon; Joan gibbon wife of Bernard, mother of Ann; Muriel Baggott formerly Gibbon widow of Bertram Baggott mother of Patricia, Leonard and Bernard;. Jill Murray daughter of George Murray (a friend of BernardGibbon); Pat Murray wife of George mother of Jill and Michael.
This was taken at the Rising Sun on Shafestbury Street at a Royal Engineers association "do"probably around 1958 - 1960. I think this typifies the closeness of the family at that time. These were the people that came to our house on a Sunday because Muriel had invited everyone to tea. She used our house because it was bigger, she said.
I'll put more notes about my research on here this week, all being well.
