Origin

Robert Wilkins Giblin (17 May 1780 – 1 September 1845) was an English emigrant who arrived in Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land aboard the Sir Charles Forbes in 1827 with his wife and eight children. He had run a school in England which failed in the financial crash of a few years before, and would run a school near Hobart in the 1830s and early 1840s before being declared insolvent. Many of his descendants and their marriage partners occupied influential positions in the young colony.
