Email: Ann Nicholson July 2001: Hi Alec, Just a brief outline of Jean Gibson's siblings, Henry married Agnes Gray. Henry was ran the post office and general store. Children : John was a Physician and Surgeon qualifying in Glasgow, he was the Henry who was the Tarbolton school teacher ( he was the enumerator on the 1851 census). Alexander and John were convicted of rioting and imprisoned, when they were released they and a group of other rioters appealed against their conviction. They won and were given compensation. Alexander and John gave the money to Henry to help his business.
The Gibson's are from my maternal line, with Scottish records being full of information I decided to do all the lines as far as I can. This is proving most interesting. Hope all this makes sense. Regards Ann :-)
