From The Bath Weekly Chronicle and Herald, 4 January 1941:
Mr Washbourne Gibbs dead – One of Bath’s oldest Justices of the Peace
One of Bath’s oldest Justices of the Peace, Mr Herbert Washbourne Gibbs, of 24 Southstoke Road, died in a Bath nursing home on Monday at the age of 80. Mr Gibbs was made magistrate on March 26th 1900, the same time as Mr J. Allen Tucker. Another Bath Justice of the Peace, Mr T.H.D. May was appointed just before this. Mr Gibbs at the time of his death was no longer a serving Justice, having been placed on the supplementary list at his own request.
A solicitor by profession, he relinquished control of the legal practice established by his father, the late Alderman Thomas Washbourne Gibbs (who was Mayor of Bath in 1889) in 1915 and it passed into the hands of his nephew, Mr Claude S. Elwell, the present city coroner, who had been associated with uncle 12 years previously. Mr Gibbs played a prominent part in the political and public life of the city and also in that of the Frome Division.
