Moore conducted the service in the deceased gentleman's late residence prior to the removal of the remains, which were conveyed in a four-horse hearse, and followed by a very large and representative cortege to the family vault in the Borough Cemetery.  The chief mourners were Messrs. Samuel, William, and Robert Gibson, sons ; Mr James Gibson, brother ; and Messrs. John Campbell, Edward Sinclair, James Hogg, Wm. Harper, and John McDowell, brothers-in-law.  The cortege included most of the members of the Corporation, of which the deceased gentleman was until lately a member.

Thanks everyone for your help so far. It looks like John Gibson (1823-92) of Lisnabreeny, and James Gibson (1828-97) of Knockbracken were brothers, as from the marriage details, both stated that their father was a Samuel, whose was a Farmer. Also, the witnesses involved, all shared the same surname, ie: Miskelly.  Samuel Gibson's (1833-83), (husband of Annie Duffield), father was  a Samuel (farmer). I think, though am not certain, that Samuel was a brother of John and James. If anyone can confrim this, I would appreciate it.
