Looking for details of the family of anderson Gibson  b c.1820 and twin William and brother Thomas b c 1829, around Coldingham area.
have them in 1851 censu and following.


Hello. I saw you post about GIBSON family and ties to Edrom Parish. Would you have a John GIBSON born about 16 Aug 1808 in your family? I believe his parents to be David GIBSON and possibly Isabella RENTON. May have ties to Greenlaw as well, but not for sure.

Berwickshire / Gibson and Miller Family - Edrom Parish

Hello all. I live in America and am new to posting on this site, but I am hoping someone more experienced can help solve a mystery or at least suggest new records for me consult.

My GGG-Grandparents, John GIBSON and Elizabeth MILLER were married on 08 April 1831 in Edrom Parish, Berwick(shire) by the Rev. M. Ralston, minister of the Relief Congregation Dunse. [I located their marriage entry located on the site  ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk ]

I would like to find out who their parents are but am having difficulty due to it being before the law in Scotland required them to officially be registered. One article here in America made mention of John's father being "David Gibson" of Scotland but didn't list his mother's name.

I did notice on same site above that there is a "Anderson Gibson" born in Edrom Parish on 27 Sept 1818 and baptised the following month. Interesting enough, his parents listd as "David GIBSOn and Isabella RENTON."

Any suggestions how I can tell if this are same parents of my GGG-Grandfather?
