I am searching for the ancestors of Thomas Gibbons,born circa 1913 and transported to Van Diemans Land in 1976.He was a blacksmith by trade. His convict indent states he was a native of Wolverhampton whilst his headstone states native of Staffordshire. Also on the headstone are the place names Woodgreen and Westbury. These somehow appear to go back to his English origins but I have never been able to ascertain their significance. Can anyone help?

Although now living in Hereford I visit Wolverhampton every 4 - 6 weeks to put flowers on my parents grave. I'm sad to see the institute in such a state and mourn its fall into disrepair. I played for Wolverhampton Rovers for many years along with my brother and fatherin the days when we changed into our kit in the institute and walked down to the pitch before being sold for being sadly development. My mother worked as the caretaker for the infant school on the green when Mr Wesley was head teacher. I'd like to see more old photos of Wolverhampton on the site. I'll try and put some on myself. I'm sure that there are many who remember me or my brother David Mee or indeed my parents George and Janet Mee Good luck with the the site.
