He had eight sisters and four brothers.Шаблон:Refn His cousin Agnes Giberne was a prolific author of juvenile fiction and of works popularising science. Three of his brothers also served in India.Шаблон:R

Giberne was a prodigious artist as a child.Шаблон:R He entered Rugby, in August 1864, where he was placed in C. B. Hutchinson's House in Barby Road.Шаблон:RШаблон:Refn In Rugby he showed "a remarkable taste and facility for drawing".Шаблон:R

Giberne was a keen cricketer and played for Epsom in 1876, scoring 21 runs against Deddington.Шаблон:R He also played for Espom in 1877, when he scored four runs against the Private Banks team,Шаблон:R and again in 1878 when he scored 12 runs against Wimbledon.Шаблон:R He played for the Old Rugbeians against the school's second eleven and scored no runs in the first innings before being bowled by schoolboy J. D. Yates. He fared little better in the second innings, scoring 1 run before being bowled by schoolboy T. L Lomax.Шаблон:R

In August 1878, He played for the Incogniti, a cricket team without any home grounds, in their two-day match against the Gentlemen of Herts at Moor Park, the seat of Lord Ebury on 26 and 27 July 1878, scoring 16 runs and one catch on the first day, and 9 runs on the second.Шаблон:R He continued to play for the Incogniti, and batted for them in matches against Oatlands,Шаблон:R Bury and West Suffolk,Шаблон:R and Middleton,Шаблон:R in 1879.

In the 1889 season the Incogniti played 47 matches with 26 wins, 8 losses, and 13 draws. Giberne had 14 innings, had never been "not out", and scored 182 runs, an average of 13 runs per inning, with a max score of 39 runs. As a team, they scored nearly 14 runs per wicket on average. He was a batsman rather than a bowler and bowling averages were not given as he had bowled in less than four innings, and probably in none, as no records show him bowling out opponents.Шаблон:R

Giberne married Caroline Alexandra Buller, the daughter of Lt. Col. James Hornby Buller in the Royal Bodyguard, on 20 February 1884 at the Parish Church in Epsom, Surrey, England.Шаблон:R The couple had one child, Harold Buller Giberne (6 February 1885Шаблон:Snd8 April 1965)Шаблон:RШаблон:R who became a farmer.Шаблон:RШаблон:Refn

The Leeds Mercury said that of Giberne's "At Bay", which showed a "stag, which looks as if it had had a hard day over Exmoor, sheltering under a wooden bridge. The attitude of the poor driven creature, and the exultant rush of the hounds as they seem to recognise that the pursuit is over, are capitally rendered."Шаблон:R Several of his paintings appeared on postcards by J Salmon Ltd.Шаблон:R
