That is so strange, because James father should be Daniel because that is what his marriage record and death record state. and His brother Robert is listed as visitor. Could there just have been a mistake?? so confusing what year did you find this one in? I will check the copies I have and see what census records I have, but will have to be later in the day, as I have to run out
This is a transcription found on FreeCen -
Brotherstons Close, Dalkeith
James Gibson head Married 24 Hawker unlicensed born Berwickshire Swinton
Margret Gibson wife " 23 Hawker's wife Stirlingshire Falkirk
Robert Gibson son 2 Hawker's son born Midlothian Dalkeith
Daniel Gibson nephew widowed 55 Tin Smith Lanarkshire Glasgow
Robert Gibson visitor unmarried 15 Scholar born Berwickshire Tweedmouth.
Obviously don't knowfor certain yet that this Daniel is your man. But he is from Glasgow where I believe your couple married. All above as transcribed (spelling etc) . Daniel being nephew of the head of house seems a bit odd. Perhaps it should be uncle???
