Gaubert Spelling Variants

'Gaubert' spelling variants in the records of births, marriages & passenger lists

I am very grateful for the following information produced by findmypast.com, familysearch.org, and Ancestry.co.uk

Here are 'Gaubert' variant spellings such as Gambert, Gauhert, Ganbert and Ganberd that I have only found during research in 2009. Almost without exception (I'm not sure about Marie R Ganbert) they can all be shown as mis-spellings of 'Gaubert'.

The last record above, of an unnamed son of Samuelis Ganberd, is included because of the similar entry for the marriage of Grace Gaubert to Joshua HIRST on 02.11.1727 also at Almondbury, York.

GENBERT – Births & Christenings

Name:	Mary Genbert
Baptism Date:	3 Mar 1688-1689
Parish:	St Giles, Cripplegate
County:	London
Borough:	City of London
Parent(s):	Jam, Sarah
Record Type:	Christening
Register Type:	Parish Register



The christening on the 3rd March 1689 at St Giles, Cripplegate in the City of London of Mary Genbert, daughter of James (watchmaker) and Sarah. The actual entry reads more like 'Goubert' or 'Gaubert'. If it is the former then he may well be related to the famous French clockmaker Jacobus Goubert who worked in London. If it is 'Gaubert' then this would be proof positive that the Gauberts were established in London before the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
