What sort of dates are we talking?

If he is in USA you would be better posting on appropiate board rather than Leicestershire.
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

Hi,
Do you think he may have come back to England?
Loking at the IGI there are lots of Gimsons who lived in the following areas:
Leicester
Hathern
Loughborough
Shepshed
Know this is very vague, but it gives you some areas to start a search.
Without knowing his age it's difficult to know a direction to point you for finding information.
Might be worth contacting Coalville library - they will have local phone books, electoral information, etc.
When I was growing up there were a couple of shops in Beeston, Nottinghamshire - family businesses - sold everything from household fabrics to pots and pans. the shops closed down about 15 years ago.
Whether their origins were Leicestershire I don't know, but the family were well known in Beeston - and Beeston is travelling distance to East Midlands.
Would love to help, but difficult without the information to know where to start.
Hope you find him.
Kind regards,
Paulene.

1990 for what? birth? marriage? death? other?

If he still living then Rootschat is not really the place to be searching for him.
I am happy to look for any of the above if you tell me which, but unless it is a death I will not post detials here (but will pM), as Rootschat's policy is NOT to post details of living people, and rightly so.

 - would be worth editing your heading if it is showing the incorrect name of who you are looking for

Danone - someone born in 1990 will only be 17 now - unlikely to "have done well for himself - something with airports in Houston"

Can we rewind to your first post and ask you to start again making it very clear a) WHO you are interested in (as I understand that it is not Graham Gimson as in the heading, but a Graham Gibson b) what you have on him already including dates even if approximate c) what you are wanting someone to look up for you.

I have tried to help you on several posts, but to be honest am finding them increasingly difficult to understand!!

Hi Danone,
Perhaps we could we start by asking your father's name.
When and where was your dad born?
Which of his brother's was Graham's dad?
Kind regards,
Paulene.
