Again you have given me more to work on. I did not realise that Edith was not Harolds mother, so why does Ediths name appear on his baptism on this sight.

Also, what is the connection with the Cerne Abbas lot? After all this research it would be funny to find the Tibbs are related to me as well, my lot all come from Dorset, Tolpuddle and Corfe area with a few in Cerne.

PS Wonderful info on the cemetery in Victoria and thanks for the sight. I live here, how the hell do you find all this?

Janet in Tasmania

Many thanks for the info. Some of which I had found but I did not have the marriage of Henry George and Edith Annie as I did not know her surname. I did not twig about Reginalds birth date even after reading the marriage date, how dumb was I.

However, do you have any answers to Percival going over to Australia?

I also noticed the marriage in Horsham and the second baptism. Perhaps they changed religion and had him baptised into perhaps the methodist church?

Thanks again any more info greatly appreciated.

Percival Frederick George Tibbs brn. abt 1907 in Cinderford. Parents:Henry George Tibbs and Edith Annie ?.

She has this belief that he married in Horsham Sussex to Helen Smith and then went to Australia to look after sheep! What else would one do?

His brother Harold Reginald Tibbs married Flora Nicholls in 1918 she being my husbands grand aunt.

I also have found other brother and sisters could anyone confirm them.

Olive Elizabeth 1904. William Alderman brn ? Marjorie Lillian brn ? Mary Edith 1913.

Thanks Janet in Tasmania, Australia.
