My G.G.G Grandfather Martin Gibbons born abt 1831 Ireland married Mary Ryan b.1838  Limerick.  They had one son John Edward Gibbons b 1860 Limerick. I cannot find where Martin was born.  His father was Stephen Gibbons, his mother Martha. I have been told that Martin may have been a Sergeant in the Irish Police force.Any idea where I can go now to find information on Martin? Thanks.
Sandra

Have just received a email containing  police service record for Martin Gibbons born 1830 County Mayo religon R.C.I am very excited the record says he served from 1852 to 1860 he was posted to Limerick which is where he met his wife.I now think the rumour about the hotel must be false.I would now like to find any info on Martin and his family in Mayo. Thanks for all your help so far.
 
Regards
Sandra

Hi sandra,What was strange was i was coming up with Gibbons From Mayo.There was a Lot of Gibbons living there.I did have a strange feeling it was where he was from.But until now i had no proof.Dont dismiss The LINK for Killaloe as i think that William Gibbons was also from That area.,and there could well be a family link.

Hi Sandra,Just an after thought.It looks like Martin was a Protestant by Birth.His son was Baptised in St Michaels Cathedral In Limerick.Now the Chances are the Marriage also took place there.I will add the link For you to The Rev Jane Galbraith.As i feel you should Contact Her about the Marriage.You may also want to Apply for Johns Baptism Cert

I have found records from Martin having been in Irish constabulary it says he was recomended by a Sir R.L Blake I thought he may be a land owner who employed Martin?If I can find where he was from maybe that will tell me where Martin was from? At the moment I am looking at somewhere in Mayo?Also I have heard from an older relative that Martin and hs wife Mary may have come to Australia on a ship called Julinder or something similar ,any ideas?
 
Thanks
Sandra

Hello Sandra
 
If you check the message just above yours (no. 21), you will see that Mike had already found this for you.

It was Sir Robert Lynch Blosse Bt. (Baronet) -- not Blake.

He was on the jury at the Mayo Assizes.  You can find this on the Old Ireland News website.  As you can see, he lived in Athavillie-Carra.

Hi Saandie
 
Are these records of any help?  I just thought they could be relations of Martin as they were in the same area.
