Can You Help?

Many Gilborn, Gilborne, Gilbourne and Gilburn families immigrated to the United States, particularly from Ireland in the 19th Century. Can you help us to link any of these families in the U.S.A. either to each other, or to their families back in their home country?

Ann and John David GILBORNE baptised Lois Davis GILBORNE 18 April 1815 at Dublin St. Peter. There seems a high possibilty that they are related to Davis GILBORNE and his siblings who emigrated to the U.S.A. Ann and John are probably too old to be their parents too, but could they be grandparents?

What happened to Robert GILBURN aka Robert PHILIPS or Robert PHILIPS GILBORNE between his baptism as Robert GILBURN in 1768 at Duffield, Derbys and his appearances in the 1841 and 51 censuses in Notts as Robert PHILLIPS. In 1851 he was described as unmarried, but had two PHILLIPS (though recorded as FILLIPS!) granddaughters staying with him. He was buried in 1855 as Robert PHILIPS GILBORNE, and his tombstone reads:

"A faithful parent slumbers here,
A Father and a Friend sincere,
With energy and courage fervant
Was 60 years a faithful and trusty servant",

- yet no marriage for him has been found, and no children traced.
