Australia / Re: Gibson family in Heathcote, Victoria
« on: Monday 27 July 15 23:09 BST (UK)  »
Thank you to everyone who contributed such valuable information about the Gibson family in Heathcote. They had difficult times. My 2xggrandfather James Gibson died very shortly after arriving in Australia. He travelled out with Thomas Craven. His brother Adam and wife Frances planned to follow him out . They were waiting to sail from London docks when notified of James' death.
Thomas Craven of Heathcote was Frances Gibson's brother.
I visited Heathcote many years ago but was not able to get any information, so thanks to the internet and Rootschat volunteers am able to solve some mysteries. I will now close the topic

Frances Gibson nee Craven had sister Isabella Charlotte Craven chr. April 2, 1819 in Alnwick. She married William Ferguson 12 Feb. 1844 at Lamberton Toll. He was a boot and shoe maker in Alnwick. Don't know if this helps.

Selkirkshire / Re: John Grieve of Deloraine

Thanks Alan for doing all those lookups. This John remains a mystery. I have his place and date of death through the commissary of Peebles, district of Selkirk report. Sadly it does not give his age at death. That info. might help me find the previous generation. I do have lots of info. on John's younger  brother Adam, my GGGgrandfather  who is buried at Unthank. Having been to that cemetery there may be some stones there  that cannot be deciphered. Thanks, Joyce

My forbear John Grieve farmed at Easter Deloraine, Selkirkshire. He died there 30 June 1820. Could anyone tell me where he might have been buried.

Hi Lydiann, Adam Gibson' s brother James, my GGgrandfather , was married at Paxton Toll House June 22 1832. Obviously an irregular marriage. I did not find this on web,but have a copy of the original handwritten paper. This might help with Adam.

Adam Gibson is in my line. He was born in Tweedmouth@ 1813 and married Frances Craven. Unfortunately all the records for Tweedmouth were destroyed in a fire! They left for Australia about 1854 and settled in Heathcote where 3 children were born. I have letters written by Frances to her sister in law in England. I would love to have info. on the living relatives in Australia.
I am trying to sort out Frances Craven born@ 1821 in Alnwick and her parents John Craven and Elizabeth Lindores. There seem to be 2 different families. Frances' brother Thomas Craven went out to Australia and also settled very successfully! in Heathcote. Hoping you can help.
