Marriage of Dauson Gibson and Janet Irvine

[soldfield]

Hi, I am looking for some help please on the marriage of my 5th great grandfather. His name comes up as Dauson Gibson but I also find it spelt Dennison and Dunison who was married to Janet or Jean Irvine/Irvin.

I can't find any record of the marriage, birth, death or Census of any of them but they are both mentioned together as parents of Campbell, Frances, Samuel and Elizabeth.

Any help would be appreciated

Stay Safe

Regards
Sam

Do you have any dates at all?

Late 18th C on births.

The Scottish births (were the children born in Scotland?) should include date and place of parents' marriage normally.

Added: Sorry, Don. Mis read 18th for 19thC

I think the point is that Sam obviously has information he has not yet put on the thread, for example where and when the chiildren were baptised.

Hi sorry yes for the dates Frances the 1st child I have found was born in 1781 if this would help.
thanks again

So if the eldest child was baptised in 1781, the marriage must have been about 1780. So Janet must have been born say 1750-1760. The chances of her surviving until 1841, the first census that listed people by name, is very small, so it's no wonder you can't find them in a census.

You might find one or more of the children in a census, provided that they survived until at least 1841 and stayed in Great Britain.
