Gibson/Brunkard

[Heather Walsh]

Hello Everyone. After about 10 years, I have made another small discovery. Now, if anyone can help me add some more, that would be great.   GGG Grandmother Elizabeth Brunkard married John Gibson, April 6th, 1854, Derryhale, mullavilly, Kilmore, Armagh. Their daughter (my GG Grandmother), Sarah jane Gibson or Plunkard (obvious mis spell) was baptised 1852, Derryhale, etc as above.  Other children found so far for John and Elizabeth are, Elizabeth 1864, Tandgaree. James 1867, Armagh. Robert 1871 Tandgaree and George 1873 Armagh, these children surnames Gibson or Gipson.    So,  i am still looking for more children as there are big gaps between siblings, also and deaths for anyone above.  I have sarah jane covered, so anything that anyone can find on any of the others will be greatly appreciated, no matter how small.   Kind regards from Heather

Thank you

On the Civil Registration Records at https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie between 1864 and 1873
There are 29 surname Gibson in Armagh and 81 just over the border in Co Down, I have had a look for the names you mention and found the two below, is it possible the others were born before 1864?

With the above numbers it will take some time to find any others.

Registered Banbridge, Co. Down

Robert 1871

George 1873

yes Colin, i assume sarah was first in 1852, then  can only find an elizabeth 12 years later in 1864, then james 1867...... then 4 year gap till robert 1871, then george 1873............. surely there must be more kids inbetween, just cant find them anywhere
