Hi Gail

Possibly the name is a hamlet or farm/estate - will see what comes up in Census for you 

Me, I'm all the way down in (very cold) Auckland, New Zealand but ancestry wise - Falkland Islands and then back to England, Ireland, Scotland Wales and Denmark.  All been fairly straightforward to research, overall - except, unfortunately Ireland, never much got past the ferry at Stranraer, figuratively speaking!   

Cheers

i know what you mean - England seems to be so much easier to get information on. If you have any ancestors in northern ireland you need looking up ie bmd's i am going to the GRO in August and i can look them up for you if you want.
since joining here 3 days ago i have discovered i have more english parts to me than irish, mainly from morpeth, ashington,cockermouth. The least info i have is on belfast connection so that is why i am going to GRO to research them

What a kind offer  . But I wouldn't  dare burden you - such as I have DORAN and GIBBONS, SULLIVAN and McCLINK  - you can see my dilemma, especially with the first two. Would take me a month of Sundays just to hash over them and find a place to start  McCLINK is the mystery one. She was illiterate and the name is most certainley a "phonetic" rendering. Actually I think I did manage to find a tenuous connection to Ireland>Cumberland for her. I might PM you something later on her just on the offchance you have a mo to look for something.... But, I'm sure you will have your hands full (hopefully) with your own!


Back to the GIBSONS:
Unless stated otherwise, Cumberland is the stated County of birth for all p.o.b's in these transcripts:

MARRIAGE: Mar Qtr 1871 - Wigton
Daniel GIBSON & Catherine WRIGHT on same page

1871: "Oulton" -  Township & Parish  of Oulton, Wigton, Cumberland
RG10 /  Piece: 5227 /  Folio: 120 /  Page: 9
Head: John GIBSON  71, Landowner & Farmer, b Scaleby
Wife: Ann 71, b Abbey Holme
Son: Daniel 28, married, farmer of 231 acres, b Wigton
Grandaughter: Betsy ISMAY? 16, unm, Servant, b Wigton

Daniel's new wife Catherine is with her parents - and possibly awaiting the birth of her first child, (your John). It's clear he was most likely born at the home of his maternal grandparents:

1871: "Tarrigg Moor" - Oulton
RG10 /  Piece: 5227 /  Folio: 122 /  Page: 14
Head: John WRIGHT 65, Farmer of 165 acres, b Kirkandrew
Wife: Eleanor 66, b Kirkandrew
Son: George 21, unm, Farmers Son, b Kirkandrew
Dau: Eleanor 27, unm, Farmers Dau, b Kirkandrew
Dau: Catherine GIBSON 24, married, farmers Wife,  b Kirkandrew
Grandau: Jane WRIGHT 17, unm, b Kirkandrew
Above the pob for John, is written I think "on Estate", so I think his pob (and the other's by ditto) is meant to read: born on estate Kirkandrew

1881: "Edderside" - Holme St Cuthbert, Cumberland
RG11 / Piece: 5167 / Folio: 88 / Page: 18
Head: Daniel GIBSON  38, Farmer of 150 Acres, b Oulton

Dau: Mary Ellen 7, b Oulton
Dau: Ann 6, b Oulton
Son: William 4, b Mealrigg
Dau: Margaret Wright 3, b Mealrigg
Dau: Jane 1, b Mealrigg

1891: "Edderside" - Holme St Cuthberts, Cumberland
RG12 /  Piece: 4298 /  Folio 53 /  Page 9
Head: Daniel GIBSON 48, Farmer, b Holme St Cuthbert
Wife: Catherine 44, b Kirklinton

Dau: Georgina 1, b Holme Cultram
Servant: John BARKER 60, single, farm Servant, b Bromfield
Servant: Joseph GRAHAM 19, single, farm Servant, b K...? Hill
(County of birth for all is Cumberland)

So, Tarn Rigg Moor Oulton it is , the birthplace for John
Have a google of that, heaps of references!

Gosh, it's even possible there are still WRIGHT's there, if you google Tarn Rigg Moor  wright - here's one:

Re Farnsiggin:  I looked at this last night and, seeing as 1901 said Wigton, I looked at a map of the Wigton area and noticed to the north Tarnrigg Moor Map http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=325170&Y=550542&A=Y&Z=120

I see now that AMBLY has found in censuses all those Tarnrigg Moors

[gailio]

Thanks Geoff, i do believe Tarn Rigg Moor was the place of birth of my great grandfather john gibson - his mother was a wright, and there are still wrights living on the farm, so i wonder if it is the same family! Ambly has been so kind and thoughtful and found all the details of the aforesaid families. And has even tracked my great uncle Daniel to Austrailia!!
Thanks guys!

If this helps for the future (or past) researching. I just finished looking for Grahams' in Cockermouth and came across a marriage.
I know it is not 1911  but maybe it will be helpful.
