Hi

My contact lives in Canada (descendant of James Gibson who emigrated from Scotland to Canada in 1815) so not sure of his wife's parentage but

James (b 1774 Applegarth), married Helen Little b 1780, in Applegarth on 12 July 1801

Children in order
Annie b 1803 Applegarth
Jean b 1807 Applegarth
James b 1809 Canonbie
John b 1811 Applegarth
George b 1813 Applegarth
Ann b 1814 Applegarth

They emigrated in 1815 to Canada then William was born in 1820 in Ontario

Hope that's enough information for you.

Dumfriesshire / Gibsons of Dumfries
« on: Monday 04 June 18 00:44 BST (UK)  »
A friend has requested assistance with a brickwall in her tree.  James Gibson was born in Applegarth, Dumfries in 1774.  She is looking for his parents (her 4x ggfather).  I have searched Findmypast, Familysearch,  The Genealogist and Scotlandspeople but each one only gives the father as "gibson" and no details of the mother.  Can anyone suggest a way forward please?

Thanks Mike. You've done a great job on a very "difficult" photograph.

Hello.  wondering if someone can improve on this 1927 photo from an old newspaper. A contact of mine  in Australia asked if I could find an article on his grandfather  who served in the Royal Navy at the time of the Crimean War.

There was also a photo attached to the report which I would like to send to him.  I know its a tall order but can anyone do anything to improve the quality please.
