Mary Gibson.

[dalek39]

Mary Gibson was born about 1823  Unknown place. USA.   Parents unknown. 
At 18 she resided in Sanquhar  Dumfriesshire. Scotland. 
Mary Gibson (1823) married Robert Reid. 16 June 1847. In Sanquhar Scotland
Robert Reid was born in 1816 - 1908.   Unknown where he was born
On 10 March 1864 she arrived in New York. USA… but left same year for Liverpool England.  Unknown if  husband was with her.   
From that time on there has been no proof of her whereabouts. But there was a death of Mary Gibson  12 December 1883. Hackney London. England. 
As there are quite a few Mary Gibsons in both USA and England I’m trying to trace the Mary Gibson born in America in 1823.

PS on Mary Gibson. I believe she had a brother Jonah. Or Josiah

Robert and Mary REID and some of their children are at 2 Victoria Grove, Hackney in 1881

Robert REID is with his son Robert in 1891, he is widowed, so Mary died between 1881 and 1891.

So the Mary Gibson REID who died Dec qtr 1883 at Hackney aged 60 certainly looks like her.

Probate for Mary REID of 117 King Edward Rd, Hackney, wife of Robert REID, Gentleman, died 12 Dec 1883. Same address for the abode of the Mary Gibson REID (aged 60) burial on 18 Dec 1883 at the City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery.

Thank you for all that Maddy. Great.  Is there any record where Mary Gibson was born.  I know it was in America. But would like to know which state.  All I get is born in USA.  Thanks.

Tread carefully, as "America" may also include any of the British colonies. There was recently a thread on RC where the person in question was born in Guyana, but on the census was recorded as "American".

Yes, looks like Josiah is a brother
Have you looked to see who Jean Ballantine is? Looks as if she might be the mother?

Thanks again for all that.  Much appreciated.   Definitely look into Mary Ballantyne   I was told Joshua.  Or Josiah was a brother. Born around 1818.  Apparently he migrated to Melbourne Australia. 1852. But  not confirmed.  Dalek.
