Gibbons and son

[Alun Severn <alun@ukiah.demon.co.uk>]

I'm just reading the liner notes, prior to istening to, a CD I just bought
tonight (in an orgy of CD buying this past few days: Matthew Locke's
CONSORT OF FOWER PARTS, with the superb viol consort, Fretwork. The liner
says that little is known of Locke (1621/2 -- 1677): "A blank follows his
early training at Exeter Cathedral, where as a chorister he knew
Christopher Gibbons, orphaned son of the better remembered Orlando...."

Does anyone know how or why OG's son was orphaned? I'll *bet* someone does....

Hopefully,  Alun
