Preliminary findings from Ancestry:
I tried to strip away some of the stuff we don't really know is legit. One detail I'm pretty certain is correct is the 35 Christ Church Road, Doncaster address, since we have that residence visible in some videos from SSB9, along with the name David Alter being associated with it and people remembering him by that name.
I was able to find a David W Gibson (a name I had seen before) in voter registration at the 35 Christ Church address during the time we think David was living there. There was no David Alter at that address on Ancestry, FWIW. That made me think it more likely that David Alter may be a red herring, and David Gibson is his real name, since it seems like most of what Ancestry searches are official government records. The David W Gibson voter record at 35 Christ Church said he was born 1960-1962.
I then searched current London voter records for David W Gibson. There is a David W Gibson also born 1960-1962 living in London. I found two addresses for him:
- 5 Elm Pl South Kensington, London SW7 3QH, UK
- 14 Lots Rd London SW10 0QF, UK
These addresses are VERY close to one another--less than a mile apart. You'll see on the map below they are actually on top of each other. So I think the fellow just moved to another flat, and it's not two David W Gibson's with same birth year living next to each other.
Matching that against the map of charities SSB9 has donated to seems to at least fall within the pattern. (
Link to posts from @Blue Gem Muslim Queen and
@Esoteric Godwinsonism mapping these out earlier in the thread.)
If this is a correct trail, then it would mean the birthdate on the doxbin of 11/11/1968 isn't correct. I've found a few David W Gibson's born in the UK in 1960-1962 in the birth records, and the good part is these records have the mother's maiden name. I'll try to go through these exhaustively and see if any Indian/Greek/otherwise unusual names pop up. David has said he's the product of a mixed-race marriage in his post to David Bedford, so I wouldn't be surprised if he has a standard European last name like "Gibson" and his mother had something more unusual. The other thing we can do is take the maiden name of the mother and use it to find her full name, and then see if we can find a corresponding death record for that person from 1992.
Even if this doesn't turn out to be correct, I think it's likely what the
redditor was referring to when he said he had the real SSB9 dox off ancestry but wouldn't post it.
