I am looking for any information on brothers and sisters of William Gibbs, born 1820 in Dinnington, Somerset, also down as Chard. On the 1841 census he was already married to Sarah Phelps and living in his in-laws house.One of his sons, George, moved up to Lancashire via Wales and Durham. I would be interested to know if there are still members of the Gibbs family in the Chard area. Thanks, Kathryn

Hi Have you looked for his baptism on the IGI website url below

http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp

If you find the baptism, on the igi, then search for the other children by just putting in his parents names without any other information, & it should bring up the others.
If not google parish records online & somerset & you may find a site that has transcribed.

if you go to your local public library I believe they hold telephone directories for the UK - you could check in the one that covers Chard
