John Gibson left Ballyshannon for USA b. 1858
« on: Friday 10 August 12 23:31 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for information on John Gibson born 28 August 1858 in Ballyshannon to parents Hugh Gibson and Nancy McGee. He died at the age of 77 on the 28 July 1936 in Bellingham, Whatcom, Washington and his wife was called Annie. I got this information from Familysearch site and I would appreciate any help in finding out more information about John,
Many thanks, Betty

It seems that he immigrated in 1889 along with his [first?] wife Charlotte and son William.

Thank you Erato, a silly question, how do you look up the census on Familysearch?
