College of arms (Editor Frederick Arthur Crisp), Visitation of England and Wales, Volume 1, p162 (Priv. Print), 1893〕 He was the son of Rev William Gibson (1804–1862)〔(rev-william-gibson.co.uk – the genealogy associated with Reverend William Gibson 1804-1862 )〕 and his second wife Louisanna Sumner (1817–1899). Louisanna was the eldest daughter of Charles Richard Sumner (1790–1874) (who had been the Bishop of Llandaff, 1826–1827, and served as Bishop of Winchester from 1827–1868) and Jennie Fanny Barnabine () (1794–1849). She was therefore the niece of Charles' elder brother John Bird Sumner who served as Archbishop of Canterbury from 1848-62. Arthur's father William, had married Arthur's mother in 1837, the year after the death of his first wife Eliza Maria, (1808–1836). Louisanna was in fact the first cousin of William's first wife with Eliza having been the third daughter of John Bird Sumner. Arthur was born in Fawley, Hampshire where his parents had moved in 1840 and where William became Rector. Arthur had two older half siblings from his father’s first marriage: Marianne (May) (1832–1845) and John Sumner (1833–1892). From his father's second marriage Arthur was the eldest son, having four older sisters, Ella Sophia (1838–1928); Emily Louisa (1840–1887); Ada Frances (1841–1893); and Edith Harriet (1842–1922). His mother, having had four daughters in succession then had four sons consecutively, the first of which was Arthur, followed by Herbert William Sumner (1846–1923); Edgar Charles Sumner (1848–1924); and Walter Sumner (1849–1918). Three more children followed, Rosa Fanny (1850–1904); Florence Jennie (1853–1911) and finally Alan George Sumner (1856–1922). At Arthur's baptism his sponsors were his grandfather, Charles Richard Sumner and his grandmother, Jennie as well as his maternal uncle, Robert. When he was eight months old he, along with all his siblings, caught whooping cough. His older sister May although suffering lightly with whooping cough then caught dropsy and died in October 1845.〔(Louisanna Gibson’s Memoir )〕 Arthur began attending Marlborough College when he was 12〔George Walter De Lisle (editor), Marlborough college register, from 1843 to 1869 inclusive, p57, 1870, (Marlborough college)〕 and he was later admitted at Trinity College, Oxford on 11 June 1863〔 where he received his BA.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur Sumner Gibson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
