Page "Maurice Gibb" Paragraph 1

Born Maurice Ernest Gibb to Barbara ( née Pass ) and Hugh Gibb ( d. 1992 ) on the Isle of Man, Maurice was the fraternal twin brother of Robin Gibb, and the younger of the two by 35 minutes.

The fourth-born of five children, he had one older sister, Lesley Evans ( b. 1945 ), and three brothers, Barry ( b. 1946 ), twin Robin ( 1949 – 2012 ), and Andy ( 1958 – 1988 ).

In the 1950s, the family moved to Chorlton-cum-Hardy in Manchester, England, then in late 1958, they moved to Brisbane, Australia, settling in one of the city's poorest suburbs, Cribb Island, which was subsequently demolished to make way for the Brisbane Airport.
