Hi Tom,
I would love to learn more about the Gibson family! In 1841, my great grandfather, Alexander Herron, lived with siblings, Margaret & Daniel, his aunt Margaret Anderson Gibson (his mother's sister) and his uncle Thomas Wardrop (his mother's brother-in-law). Cousins, Robina Gibson and your Robert Gibson lived with them as well. My husband and I visited Scotland a few years ago and found a family headstone in the Holytown Parish Church Cemetery. Listed were James Tudhope, (husband of Robina Gibson), Robina Gibson, two of their children, Robert Gibson & Margaret Gibson, Robert Hamilton (Margaret's husband) and Margaret Anderson Gibson. Needless to say, I was very excited to find this headstone as so many of the headstones are no longer in existence. After talking with a secretary in the Chapelhall Parish Church, I knew that my Daniel Heron & Mary Anderson would have been buried in this cemetery as well.
My email address is

Kindest regards,
Diane Herron Berry
