  MissScarlett: Morning Post, June 16th 1897, p.2:

<William Watson Gibberd, scholar of Trinity College, was born in January, 1876, and was educated at the Leys School, Cambridge. He is a well-known athlete, and, in addition to being captain of the University cross-country runners, he took part in the contests against Oxford at Queen's Club last spring.>

  Tabanus: Newcastle Evening Chronicle, 28 November 1905, p. 4:

<The death took place at Gateshead, on Sunday of Mr. William Watson Gibberd, of the firm of Penman and Gibberd, solicitors. Mr. Gibberd was son of Mr. James Gibberd of Bournemouth and he came to Gateshead two years ago and commenced business with Mr. T. Penman. Some four weeks ago he was taken ill with Bright's disease. He improved a little, but last week complications set in, and he died at Gateshead Sunday morning.>

And a great deal more, and also some nice words about him in same newspaper the day after, 29 Nov. p. 6.
