Title: Ralph Gibson (1891-1955) NUR Auditor
Post by: JDB307 on Saturday 31 December 11 11:39 GMT (UK)
Ralph was my half uncle (my mother's half brother) who was born near Morpeth in 1981.  He died on Christmas Eve 1955 in Dalkeith.  Does anyone know if he has a headstone in Dalkeith, please.  I have no knowledge of the churches or cemeteries there so would not know where to start looking.

I'm also intrigued to see that his business card is headed Nation Union of Railwaymen and his position is given as Auditor.  Surely an auditor should be independent of the organisation he is auditing.  Maybe it means something else entirely.

Obviously, if anyone knows anything about Ralph, I'd love to hear from them.

Hi Jack,

My name is Diane Wilson and I'm Ralph Gibson's granddaughter. He was married to Christina Gibson, their daughter Wilma was my mother. Ralph, Christina and Wilma are in the same plot in Dalkeith cemetery. I recently visited the grave (April 2023) https://www.swarmapp.com/scottishsirenxx/checkin/642ee0cf073c370ea5166a0f (https://www.swarmapp.com/scottishsirenxx/checkin/642ee0cf073c370ea5166a0f)
