Hi Norrie G,
Thank you so much for your reply. You have answered my question. As I am just across the Forth I can make a trip to check them out. I will leave your very kind and generous gesture for those who are not able to visit. I have scant details at this time anyway. I will look out for you when I visit. Appreciated Sandy

Can you check for his father for me. He appears to have received permission to stay in South Africa around 1817 so would have left the army then.

Only the wedding. The CAHILL grandfather that you gave me info on yesterday appears to have been in Fort Beaufort. I have a William GIBSON being given residential status in 1817. I did look over the weekend at military record and the number of William GIBSONs were many and no way of isolating them. If I ordered her birth certificate would it have more details on it?

Was there not another regiment that took over on Corfu? Maybe he was part of that regiment.

The last three are births of GIBSONS which may or may not be related.

I don't think he is my man as there is no mention of South Africa where she spent most of her life. I had seen that record of her birth. There was also a death of a John CAHILL but I could not date it. The other were Charles Robert GIBSON on Santa Maura, Eliza Rachel on Paxa and 1844 Sophia Martha on Corfu.

Hi Gortonboy,
It is Jane Ann GIBSON in 1843 to William GIBSON and an unknown wife. I am not aware of any other children but I found a few more GIBSONs born on the Ionian Islands round about the same time. She married John CAHILL in Kingwilliamstown on 14 October 1864. He died in 1874 and she married James LANG on 28 September 1875. She died in Stellenbosch in 1925.  I would appreciate any help as I try to find out my ancestors,
Thanks

Sandy

Hi Norrie G, I am interested in the number of Duncan's buried there. My parents visited cousins in 1964 who were batchelor brothers that were men's barbers in the town. I believe one married late in life but no details of the wife. I would love the inscriptions if they are few but an idea of numbers would be appreciated and justify a trip over the Forth to check out. Thanks Sandy
