Gibson and Miller Family - Edrom Parish

[squirejay]

I cannot fit a James Gibson into my tree as I have only got 7 siblings of
David Gibson and Isabella Renton.

they are John    1807
Alison                1809
David                1811
Robert              1815
Anderson         1818 
William             1821
Thomas            1829

Could James be one born between William & Thomas or at some other time?

I am fascinated

I don't believe there is a James in this line from David. None of the research I've done shows there to be one - just the 7 names you have listed already.

There is a James Alexander b 1853 Anderson and Margaret and he is the only James I know of.

Yes, I have James A Gibson born to Anderson Gibson 27/9/1818 to 14 9 1892) & Margaret Symington (1821-1890).
Anderson farmed at Burnhall near Coldingham in Berwickshire in partnership with his brother William (1821 to 1892?)
William was married to Rachel Falconer (1827 to 1864) and are my gg grand parents.

Anderson and Margaret had
David                1847
Elizabeth           1849
Isabella             1850
James A             1852
Alison                1855
Anderson           1856
William               1858
John                   1861 to 1935
Thomas              1862 to 1905
George             1868
Robert              1871



I am having my doubts that James Gibson & Beatrice Haig have any connection with this family and my family , but prove me wrong!

There are Gibsons interred at Edrom. I was there recently and I recall seeing  it because they had a son that served with the Royal Garrison Artillery in WW1 that was killed in action. There was a vase of fresh flowers upon the grave, so someone attends too it.
