looking for information on
Stewart Gibson & Rebecca Jane Evans they left from Antrim Ireland in 1818 landed in ST.James Charlotte county New Brunswick, on passenger list in 1818 it has that
Stewart Gibson was 37 years of age in 1818 it says his wie
Rebecca Jane Gibson (Evans) was 33 years of age. Says there religion was press
Family history that has been passed down from family members says that Stewart Gibson was son of Alexander Gibson & Janet Moore.
Rebecca Jane Gibson (Evans) was daughter of James Evans & Margaret Evans (King)
Margaret Evans (King) was daughter of John King & Elizabeth ?
there was a John King that also came to ST James Charlotte county New Brunswick in1829 he came from Down Ireland says he was age 70 brn about 1759 when he came to New Brunswick,with him was Elizabeth age 68 brn about 1761,says there religion was press
there was a James Evans who came from Tryone Ireland in 1831 to ST.James Charlotte county New Brunswick, says he was age 56,brn abt 1775 with him was Margaret Evans age 68 and another Margaret Evans age 28
there is a problem with ages and years so somewhere some ages and years are wrong but we have no idea which ones.
there was a Alice King age 46 landed in St,James Charlotte county New Brunswick in 1824,religion Press we have no idea if she related to any above does not say where in Ireland she came from.
there was also a Ann King age 54 came from Down Ireland in 1843 to ST.James Charlotte county New Brunswick Religion Press,no idea if related to any of above.
also in 1843 there was a Robert King age 57 religion press,came From Down and a James King age 30,religion press also came from Down and both came to ST.James Charlotte county New Brunswick.
In 1829 a Robert JR King age 40,religion Press came from Down to ST.James Charlotte County New Brunswick.
would be great to one day have correct years for the following
John King born about 1759 & Elizabeth ? would love to learn her maiden name
James Evans born about 1775 ? & Margaret Evans (King) born about 1775 ?
Stewart also at times spelled Stuart Gibson born about 1781 ? & Rebecca Jane Gibson (Evans) born about 1785 ?
also need correct age and year of birth for Alexander Gibson & Janet Gibson (Moore) as they are parents of Stewart Gibson.
Thank you all in advance

I believe that possible Stuart Gibson was born about 1814 and his wife Rebecca Jane Gibson ( Evans ) was born about 1818 as on the 1851 Census for New Brunswick it says they landed in New Brunswick in 1818.
Also no one is sure if they were born in Ireland or Scotland. As some records say Ireland and some say Scotland.
We do know they came to New Brunswick from Ireland.
Also their parents birth dates do not seem to be in order. So would be great if we could find proper birth dates.
Stuart Gibson born about 1814 was the son of Alexander Gibson & Janet Moore.
Rebecca Jane Gibson ( Evans ) born about 1818 was the daughter of James Evans & Margaret Evans ( King ) born about 1783
Margaret Evans ( King ) born 1783 was the daughter of John King & Elizabeth King,her maiden name is unknown.
Margaret King Gibson born 1838 in St. James, Charlotte county New Brunswick was daughter of Stuart Gibson & Rebecca Jane Gibson ( Evans ),Margaret married John Russell Blair in 1863 in St.James,Charlotte county N.B.

hello myself1 trying to find if the four names exist in any one civil parish in county Antrim ie
Evans, Gibson, King & Moore in the earlier census substitutes
from 1796 flax record a census substitute
Evans none
Gibson John Ballymoney Antrim
Gibson Patrick Skerry Antrim
King none
Moore Ephraim Ballyrashane Antrim
Moore James Derrykeighan Antrim
Moore Patrick Ballyrashane Antrim
Moore Robert Ballyrashane Antrim
Moore Samuel Billy Antrim
Moore Thomas Ballymoney Antrim
Moore William Ballymoney Antrim
Moore William Dunluce Antrim
Moore William Skerry Antrim
next the four names just in co antrim tithe applotment books all four head of house names are close to 380 in total
has no 4 names in any one parish
has 3 of the four names in these parishes
Ballinderry no King
Blaris no Evans
Drummaul no Evans
Glenavy no King
Killlead no King
Portglenone no King
looking at a parish map of co antrim the best suggestion would be neighbouring
they almost touch eachother starting with most westerly Portglenone sitting one above Drummaul sitting 2 above Killead, sitting 1 above Glenavy, sitting ontop of Ballinderry sitting tone to the west of Blaris. you might say they are all the south west botrders of Co Antrim.
however those results are not sufficient to go looking for early church records for the names in these 6 parishes unless no other clue arises
Turning first to your family folklore memory, my own proved Wigtownshire in Scotland was correct so I would keep them at the top of you tree giving the source as family folklore however what you offer is more facts about the King family. has anyone done research on your Gibson family history I check now after poring over the 1851 census for clues early on in the day eg
wikitree immediately gives this info https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gibson-18839

-
The Bailey settlement is not in Ireland it is in New Brunswick in Charlotte county. None of us have ever found the marriage record for Stewart Gibson & Rebecca Jane Gibson (Evans) some family say they were married in New Brunswick and some say in Ireland and a few say Scotland.

comment
1. are you the H......R...... above?
2. the estimated marriage date for a Alexander Gibson m a Janet Moore is 1794+24 = 1818 location unknown yet its on a newtownards board.
Church records for Newtownards the surviving church records are listed http://www.rosdavies.com/CHURCHES/K_W.htm#Newtownards
3. You interchange Stewart to Stuart b 1812[-1814] , i understand that vision of records of those days
4. the website compiler Derek Beattie died suddenly in 2016, his 10 special friends have resurrected his website however his sources for each entry aren’t obvious to me yet.
I stop here for encouragement or advice

I have a ship that brought my Moore's to St. Andrews, NB. 1818 It was listed in the Lloyds of London Insurance records book. Jessie, Capt. Lyons, ship brought passengers to settle in Canada and then went to Savannah, Georgia to return with cotton. I have included an attachment that was written by Rev. McCullough of 1st Protestant Church in Newtownards for John Moore, born 1786. Hollywood is mentioned but not sure. His first two boys were born Antrim. (wife was Montgomery) She died and he then married Sophia Angus. I think we have many things to share. I have 2 Gibson/Moore marriages, Gibson/Black, Gibson/Wilmot, Gibson/Angus and Gibson/Simpson. Also King, Finley, Mitchell, Gordon, Lowery, Beatty etc
Sorry but all my attachments are .doc, i will copy and paste or can send them to you or both??? Perhaps I can rename them as other??? Please advise. cheers, Cal. Moore
-
i think i can go no further in helping myself1, so over to mysel1 to reply to you Calhun
good luck onwards to all
-
What's up. Are you interested in or have looked into what I have to share with others who arrived in 1818?
-
Cal your answer was good information, i can go no further. the correspondent 'myself 1' who should be very interested in your reply appears to have slowed down last mail 16 April 20. you could try a PM ?
good luck onwards

Hello Myself1,
As with the Moore's of Mechanic's Settlement, NB there were related Moore's in Cumberland County, NS. Along with them there were Kings, Gibson's, Black's and others. As the Moore's live in both the Sussex, NB area and Amherst Shore, NS area's and arrived on the same Brig in 1818, I am sure that there are more connections that can be made between these people. Have you further insight into the beginnings of these families? Perhaps letters between them, NB to NS. Which line are you most close to....or have the most definite information? I could start with some research on that. Email works better for me, you? We can always repost here if and when we make some progress.
