Gday Diane,
First of all - I found you from your web article "Scottish Research on the Family of Alex Herron - Jul 2003" finding my ggggrandfather, Robert Gibson who m Margaret Anderson. They named a son Robert who named a son Robert and this is my line. Your article has also enlightened me how the Wardrobe/Wardrope/Wardrup (depends on the clerk's spelling) name came into my Gibson family. Anderson is straight forward but Wardrope is not so easy to connect - My grandfather was William Anderson Gilchrist Gibson whilst one of his brothers was Thomas Wardrope Gibson. Skipping back to the previous family, there was also another Thomas Wardrope Gibson. Anyway, this is to to say I have lots of information on my Gibson Family that I could share with you if you are interested.
Cheers,
Tom Fletcher

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 diane.rg@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you!

Kindest regards,
Diane Herron Berry
