6 Sep 2013 I believe he died on the Isle of Man on 16 Jun 1951. There is a record of the probate for this. More importantly it was resealed in Singapore.

• Obituary. William Frederick Gibbons (1870-1951)

1952 Obituary [1]

"WILLIAM FREDERICK GIBBONS throughout his career was in railway service as a locomotive engineer. He served a pupilage at the Longhedge works of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, from 1887 to 1891, and during the next two years was employed in the drawing office and as locomotive inspector. He was then made locomotive foreman and held this position until 1900 when he went to South Africa and joined the staff of the Beira and Mashonaland Railway. On the completion of five years' service as locomotive, carriage, and wagon superintendent he was engaged on inspection of locomotive building at Messrs. Baldwin's works in the United States. This was followed by another brief appointment as assistant chief mechanical engineer to the Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway, Argentina, before going to India in 1912 to take up the appointment of works superintendent to the Bengal-Nagpur Railway. Subsequently he became chief mechanical engineer, a position he retained until his retirement in 1925. Mr. Gibbons, whose death occurred on 16th June 1951 at the age of eighty-one, was elected a Member of the Institution in 1904."

There will inevitably be errors and omissions and the whole purpose of creating this online record, is to invite feedback and corrections.
The data is specifically for non-commercial use and my clear intention is to build family records. The data may, therefore, not be used in any way for the purposes of financial gain.

Caveat:- Throughout the project UK GRO birth, marriage and death index data appears. The GRO data appears in Quarters. Q1 = January, February and March, Q2 = April, May, June , Q3 = July, August and September and Q4 = October, November and December. Similarly, Mar Q = January, February and March, Jun Q = April, May, June , Sep Q = July, August and September and Dec Q = October, November and December. Where these dates occur, they represent the date of Registration of the event rather than the date of the actual event. Logically, registration occurs AFTER the event. In some cases this may be days or months or even years after the event. The important thing is that the event was recorded and a copy of the document of registration could be obtained if necessary. This also applies to South African NAAIRS records.

Similarly, the UK system is confusing to the uninitiated because registration districts can span several counties. Accordingly GRO locations may not record the true location of the event. They do record where the record is actually kept or recorded.

Caveat #2:- I have used URL's throughout the website as sources. The URLs are often from paid subscription sites so you may not be able to access them without an account. Inevitably there are broken URL's. I have been to every URL recorded here and at the time they were operational. In this regard, the Ancestry24 records are a problem. There are numerous references in the South African data citing Ancestry24 records. Unfortunately Ancestry24 has closed down and these records are no longer available on line.

The early South African records on this site would not have been as good as they are without the work done by Delia Robertson. Where there are website addresses containing http://www.e-family.co.za... I record the citation should read Robertson, Delia. The First Fifty Years Project.
