Expanding Gibson's Selby to see if Richard Gibson was a only Newcastle Gibson in Selby
Is there a father of John Gibson in the Selby Dades parish baptism 1803 below
Elizabeth Gibson 5 August 1803 baptism
SELBY, YORK, ENGLAND
father:
John Gibson
I did check the other Gibson's. They are from a "Selby" based family. Richard is the only one I could find with the Newcastle connections
There was always a chance Richard's father Thomas Gibson moved North from Selby by 1800 but doubtful if he was an established farmer/yeoman- Yet farm ag labourers did move about like gypsies being bachelors before marriage or if widowed able to move around without ties and sometimes auctioned their labour at markets ? hence greater distance between jobs on farms (More seasonal work)-Navigation workers on canals/railways were the same.
Regarding Thomas Gibson baptised Selby 9th August 1793, the first son of Richard & Elianor Gibson, occupation Cooper, it says ...

So Richard Gibson, the Cooper, who married at Selby (or his wife Elianor, at least) seems to be at Selby by August 1793.
