BISHOP GIBSON.

_London, Feb. 11, 1852._

SIR,--I will be much obliged to any of your correspondents who can

inform me to whom Edmund Gibson, the Bishop of London, and a great

authority on ecclesiastical laws, was married? and, if possible, the

date of such marriage. The biographies of him which have fallen under

my notice, have named no domestic circumstances but those of parentage

and infancy. I think he died in 1745.

Your obedient servant,

GENEALOGIST.

_G. W.'s Correspondent will find it stated in Faulkner's History of

Fulham, that "the Bishop died at Bath, September 6, 1748, aged 79,

and was buried at Fulham. He married the sister of the wife of Dr.

Bettesworth, Dean of the Arches, who died suddenly in her chair,

December 28, 1741, and by whom he had several children."_
