Hello
1810 to 1830 in Scotland - according to the OPR records on the official govt website, www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk (a ppv site) there is only one birth in all of Scotland for an Anderson Gibson. His dob or ch. was 27/10/1818. (Min £6.00 spend allows for the download of uop to 5 bmds/census recors, copes not transcripts).
27/10/1818 GIBSON ANDERSON DAVID GIBSON/ISABELLA RENTON FR367 M EDROM /BERWICK 738/ 0020 0110
Can't find any other children born to the couple or their marriage on SP.
I see that the IGI hasa 'submitted record' for an Anderson Gibso marrying a 'Margaret' abt 1847.
Regards, Steve :)

Steve , that birth looks good
*************** - edited - wife margaret symington :-\

Hello. I saw you post about GIBSON family and ties to Edrom Parish. Would you have a John GIBSON born about 16 Aug 1808 in your family? I believe his parents to be David GIBSON and possibly Isabella RENTON. May have ties to Greenlaw as well, but not for sure.
-
Only just picked this message up today, after your other message.
Anderson & William's parents are David Gibson & Isabella Renton on my tree

Nearly two years since I last posted the questions about the Gibsons in Berwick-shire, now have more brick walls concerning 5 siblings!
ANDERSON born Blackpotts in 23 Jun 1877, married Margaret Chisholm in 1904 at Hilton and two children, Margaret 1905 and David 1911 also two who had died before the census in 1911
JULIA LOUGH born 8 Feb 1879 in Coldingham and married William Wood in 1906, no trace of any children
WILLIAM FORSYTH born 27 Jul 1881 in Coldingham
MARGARET born about 1883 in Coldingham and
SARAH ISABELLA born 18 Jan 1886 also Coldingham
Parents are David Gibson (1847 in Berwick) and Mary Forsyth (1858 in Coldingham)
David was eldest son of Anderson Gibson (1819 to 1892) and was my GreatGreat-Grand Father's brother.
This family seems to flit between Berwick-shire and Northumberland fairly regularly!
including Berwick, Morpeth
Any help would be appreciated
regards
John

My great grandmother was born illegitimate but there was a mark in her birth record which I found out related to an entry in a separate register regarding who her father was. He turned out to be a Thomas Gibson of Blackpotts Farm.
Her mother Elizabeth Virtue worked at the farm. I cant remember all of the dates off the top of my head but I will look through my information and clarify soon
Maybe you can help me work out my Gibson line once we work out who we are dealing with
-
I have a Thomas , son of Anderson Gibson & Margaret Symington born 28th Jan 1863
He Married a Mathieson Nelson Cairns on 1st Jan 1889
I have a Thomas on the census in 1881 at Blackpotts Farm, aged 18 and a AG LAB
I also have two other Thomas Gobson s but neither were at Blackpotts farm, and appear to be cousin to the above Thomas.
Thanks for that info and will be in touch further
JB
-
Yes, that's him. I will have to look into this line to discover my "lost" relations
Thanks
-
Just a thought have you tried Eyemouth just along the road, - I was there a weekend and remember seeing Some Gibson's.
-
Not tried there yet. I know lots of people there so should make some headway.
So if Thomas is my great great grandfather, how am I related to you?
-
My Paternal Grandmother was [b]Jane Hopper GIBSON[/b]born 6th April 1877 died 15th Feb 1931 (in Edinburgh) at Blyth in Northumberland to John Alexander Gibson and Mary Hopper
John Alexander Gibson born Berwick on 2nd June 1850 died Morpeth in 1883, the son of William GIBSON & Rachel Falconer
William was born c1820 (I have a date of Feb 1821) and was in partnership with his brother Anderson born about 1818, in a farm at Burnhall, Coldingham, during the 1861 and 1871 Census.
William & Anderson are 2 of the sons of David Gibson & Isabella Renton. David died at Burnhall in 20th March 1861 at Burnhall! I also have John 1807, Alison 1809, David 1811, Robert 1815, and Thomas in 1829, which leaves me to think that there were one or two more between 1821 and 1829!
Thomas was born in 1862 , the son of Anderson and Margaret
I think you need to look at the whole of the south east part of Berwickshire not just Eyemouth!
I have Gibson all over that part of the county

Hi Squirejay
I am looking to find as much information on a Mary Gibson DOB 21st November 1919 and who unfortunately passed away in 1949 of Tuberculosis. She is the Daughter of a Anderson and Margaret Gibson (formerly Margaret Chisholm) and sister of a David Gibson ( DOB 1911) and Margaret Gibson (DOB 1906).
I believe that Mary was a nurse at the Royal Infirmary Glasgow (certainly in 1942).
I can see that you have done lots of amazing research into the Gibson family, which I have found most interesting and believe that people in America and Vancouver have also been trying to locate information about the gibsons.
I hope you don't mind me asking if you have any information about Mary Gibson from any research you have done? I have information of Mary's death certificate in 1949, and information of the marriage certificate for her parents Anderson and Margaret. I also have information regarding Mary's mother Margaret's death in 1951.
Thank you!

Annie D 8 Jun 1890 Paxton
Jessie D 30 Nov 1892 Paxton
Alex D Feb 1896 Berwick
Isabella Mar 1900 ?
George 1903 apprx ?
Father Anderson and son Anderson emigrated on 30 march 1907 to Canada to be followed by Janet and Margaret (28) Jessie (16) Alex (14) and George (6) in July 1909
As I don't have access to Canadian records, is there any one who can fill any details for this family.
ANDERSON was the son of another Anderson, the brother of William Gibson, my 2 x Great Grand father, who together farmed Burnhall in Coldingham around 1850 to 1870s
Sorry about the two part message but it is some time since I posted something on this great site

Hi!
I am married to the great-grandson of the Anderson Gibson that came to Canada. He farmed in the province of Saskatchewan. His son George farmed with him and His son Wayne was my father-in law. Wayne farmed in The province of Alberta, Canada. He is now deceased. I am married to his eldest son Greg who farmed with him and continues to farm. My family tree is on Ancestry.ca under the Kuich family tree. Anderson died in 1940 and is buried in Potter's field in Tisdale, Saskatchewan because his son and his family could not afford to pay for his burial. George died of Spinal meningitis in 1948 and left behind his wife Gladys with 6 children, including 6 month old twin boys. My father-in-law was 15 when George died. Wayne and his wife Pearl had 5 children, the eldest being my husband Greg. Greg and I have two sons and the. Adopted a girl. Our eldest son is married and has given us 2 grandsons so the Gibson line thrives in Alberta!

hello to you, and thanks you for replying to this line of research into the Gibsons
Can I confirm that the date of birth for both Andersons that travelled to Canada in 1907
Anderson (father) was born in Berwick-on-Tweed in March 1856 and son Anderson 13th Dec 1883 in Coldingham.
As I do not have Ancestry.ca or indeed any ancestry, I use Scotland's People and FindMy Past with Family Search (as it is free), I have not followed up this line of the Gibsons, so once you have completed 3 posts on RootsChat we can exchange personal messages via the email system, (it is part of the security on Rootschat).
Look forward to hearing from you soon

Hi.
I have the same birthdates for each of these Anderson Gibson's who came to Canada. The Anderson Gibson who was born in 1856 died December 1, 1940 in Tisdale, Saskatchewan, Canada.
-
The family rumour is that George did not know that his sister was really his mother. George was raised by his grandparents Anderson and Janet. In the early 1960's, my father-in-law Wayne's received a letter from a lawyer in Australia or New Zealand on behalf of a Janet Cook who was supposedly George Gibson's mother. Janet Cook had died. Wayne received enough money from her estate that he was able to buy farmland in The province of Alberta, Canada.

Now that I've read further in this realm of conversation I see a Christine Gibson who is also somewhat related. Hello Christine :)
-
The "Andrew" mentioned in your reply was in fact ANDERSON (Junior) born 13th Dec 1883 and emigrated, with his father Anderson b March 1856, on "Sicilian" from Glasgow on 30th March 1907.
Janet sailed on "Hesperian" from Glasgow on 10th July 1909 with Margaret (1882) : Jessie Douglas Gibson b 1891 : Alexander b Feb 1896, and KIA 14th Oct 1918.
Daughter, Janet did not go to Canada but emigrated to NZ in April 1912
If you want further info, please let me know

Hi!
It's been awhile. I found Margaret Gibson (Anderson and Janet's daughter). After she came to Canada with her mother, she married Arthur Neville Lister Blackmore. They lived in British Columbia, Canada. She died September 23, 1971 in White Rock, B.C. Her and Arthur had a daughter Flossie in 1912. It seems Flossie married and moved to the state of Washington, U.S.A. Arthur was born March 9, 1886 in London, England. He died August 6, 1978 in Surrey, B.C., Canada
-
I have more details of Margaret and Arthur, marriage, incl parents for both. I have sent an email direct to Christine in Alberta.
I have both death certificates for Margaret and Arthur's daughter Florence Jessica Blakemore, together with her getting married to a James Nimmo Cowie, and their marriage certificate, in 1938.
