Job Linton (Lynton) Nibbs: 13 October, 1857 – 29 November 1941
Job was the son of William David Nibbs and Mary Ann Timoney
(Tumney).
His father was a convict, transported to Australia in 1831
for participating in the Swing Riots in Buckinghamshire, England. His mother
was born in Co. Tyrone, Ireland. She was also a convict – Transported from
Dublin in 1843 on the ship ‘East London’. She served 7 years for stealing a coat.
Job Linton Nibbs carries the first name of his paternal
grandfather (Job) and his grandmother’s maiden name (Linton) both of Little
Marlow, Bucks. England. On most Tasmanian records his middle name is spelt with
a ‘y’ Lynton.
He was born at Port Sorrell, Tasmania and died in Devonport,
Tasmania at the age of 84.
His Obituary appears in the Examiner (Launceston, Tas.)
Monday 8 December 1941. There was a
