Hi Robert,
I've got some Gubbins roots in Illinois-the Chicago area. There is also an e-group discussing all things Gubbins that you might be interested in and be able to find out more information on your family there as well. The web address is
http://www.egroups.com/list/gubbinsIf you can get me some dates on your family members I'll look at what I have and try to get back to you. I have lots of John and Robert Gubbins' in my family myself.
I hope this is of some help.
Sincerely,
Beth Gubbins
