Hi Rob,

I have found a birth of a Jean Gibson 19 May 1776 baptised 26 May 1776, daughter to John Gibson and Helen Hunter at Morham. I then found an Alison Gibson birth 29 Apr 1781 baptised 15 May 1781 to parents John Gibson and Joann Begbie at Garvald Kirk.The father John was a Mason.

These entries were found on FreeReg,

It could be the same John Gibson, if first wife, Helen Hunter died, in which case Jean and Alison would be step-sisters. If 2 different John Gibsons, they could be second cousins.

Hi Rob,

On FreeReg, I found the marriage of Thomas Ramsay (sic) to Alison Gibson, 27 Oct 1798 at Garvald, 2 weeks after irregular marriage at Haddington. Witnesses at Garvald were John Darling and Joan Nisbet.

Also found marriage of a John ?One (I think can be Cowe) to Jean Gibson at Garvald on 4 Oct 1795 after being fined 2 shillings and six pence by Kirk Session for an earlier irregular marriage at Edinburgh 22 Jul 1795.
