The parish register for
Trysull began in 1558, but the pages before 1572 are torn and
difficult to read. The image below is from the torn part of the
register shows an entry for:
September ij Steven Gi
This is most likely the burial register for Stephen Gibbons on 2
September 1558 in Trysull.
Since there were no other Gibbons family in the early records,
Steven (born circa 1560) is likely the grandchild of Stephen
Gybbyns, and the son of William, Rychard, or John. Steven may not
have been born before his grandfather's will was written, as he is
not named in the will of 1558. John Gibbins is shown in the burial
register in 1590, along with his wife Jonne, who was buried in 1585.
No baptismal records are found for the children of William, Rychard
or John in the Trysull parish register. Rychard and William are not
found in burials in the Trysull parish register which shows burials
from 1570 on. John would seem to be the most likely father for
Stephen (1560).
Stephen and Elizabeth must have been born in about 1490. Stephen was
the son of John and Alice Gibbons of Trysull, who were likely born
in the mid-1400s..
Stephen and Elizabeth had the following children:
1. Agnes (Anne)
*2. John; mentioned in father's will of 1558; married Jonne;
buried 30 July 1585 in Trysull.
3. Alice, married John Worwood; mentioned in father's will
of 1558.
4. Elizabeth
5. William; mentioned in father's will of 1558.
6. Richard; mentioned in father's will of 1558.

Archdeaconry of Stafford, 1532-3.
JOHN AND ALICE GEBYNS
John and Alice Gebyns were listed in A List of Families in the
Archdeaconry of Stafford 1532-3 in Trysull.
Stephen Gebyns, Elizabeth, uxor eius, Agnes, John, Alice,
Elizabeth, William, Richard, John, Alice, parentes.
They are listed as "parentes" or parents of Stephen
Gebyns in Trysull. They may be living with Stephen and his family,
or they may be his deceased parents. They are not listed as a
separate household. Stephen was born in about 1475, so John and
Alice were born in about 1450 of Trysull.
John and Alice had the following child:
*1. Stephen, born in about 1475 of Trysull; married
Elizabeth; died in about 1558 in Trysull; left a will written
17 September 1558, proven 24 January 1558/9.
