Hi - I'm trying to find information or relatives in the US or Ireland. My grandfather (Peter Gribbon) was born around 1897 in Limerick, Ireland. His parents were John Gribbon and Agnes Kelly. He had 3 brothers; Joe, John and Mike. They emigrated to the US in the early 1900's and settled in Brooklyn,NY. There seems to be some confusion about the proper spelling of their surname. His baptismal certificate is spelled "Gribbin" - we wonder if the spelling may have gotten changed in Ellis Island? He married Anita Cahill around 1920. They had 2 daughters Pat and Jackie - when they divorced he had another daughter, Frances with a Lottie Esposito. If anyone has any info, please contact me at dhutchinson@buckeye.com Thanks!

Looking for descendants of English Gribbon Edward John Gribbon married Mopside, Lancs. No immediate sonnection to yours, but I wondered whether there might have been back in the 1897 in Limerick. Lookiong for my friend Judith in Oz who is a descendant of Edward John and wants to meet live descendants. A long shot

Hello

I am from Manchester, England. My brother, funnily enough, is also Peter Gribbon. Our Grandparents came from Southern Ireland, but the exact location I am not sure.

Does this help? If you tell me how far you have got I can look from my side and see if there is a tie up somewhere.

Steve.

Hi Steve

I am researching the Gribbon famiy history. 'Our' Gribbon's were from Co Down, N Ireland. Having seen your message I was amazed to see an astonishing coincidence; my husband, Steve Gribbon has a brother by the name of Peter!
