=== Notes From Elsewhere ===
George Duncan Gibb (1821-1876): London's foremost laryngologist.<br /><br />Obituary excerpt:<br />Death of Sir George Duncan Gibb, Bart.<br />The Canada Medical Record, Volume 4, No. 7 page 162 Montreal, April 1876<br /> “His endeavours to trace the history of the Gibb family did not terminate with the publication of this work ((Biography: "Robert Gib, Lord of Carribber" currently in the BL)), for during our visit in 1874 we were shown by him large volumes, in which were written by him all the information which he had collected since its issue. These will doubtless now find their way to where he intended them to go, viz, to the Library of the British Museum…”<br /> <br />“…he was in the habit of jotting down, in his diary, all the principal events of his life, and every two years this diary was substantially bound, and made its appearance in his library with the following title back: ‘Incidents in the Life of George D. Gibb.”  When we saw them last they numbered some fifteen volumes, and they doubtless contain a fund of information which may yet prove of value to more than his immediate friends.”<br /><br />From Sir George Duncan Gibb himself, writing in "Published Works, Memoirs, and Communications, on Medical and Physical Science, :1869<br />Prefatory Remarks: "...I am now engaged in preparing my biography in manuscript, which shall be demised to the trustees of our Chief National Library."<br />March 15th, 1869 <br />Page 25: "...and vols. of family papers to be hereafter preserved in the Library of the British Museum."<br /><br />As further background, Sir George Duncan Gibb held a disputed baronetcy. I've taken it upon myself to help set the record straight and do what I can to support Dr. Gibb's original claim. (Perhaps the substantial paper I've already written on this topic might even interest the RAI?)<br /><br />Any Sherlockian assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Rob Brandreth-Gibbs<br />Senior Producer<br />Bravo Zulu Productions Inc.<br />North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada<br />
