Hi Alec
Lewis Gibson, your ref P450, was sent to Queensland, Australia to find his two brothers who were already there. One of the brothers was David (born 1842), I have been unable to find the other. Lewis was 20 years old, he went on the ship Castle Eden at a cost of 15 pounds, arriving 4th September 1864.
Lewis Gibson married Agnes McClymont Cherry on 9th Feb 1871 at the Rockhampton Presbyterian Church, Portcurtis Road, Rockhampton, Queensland. The minister was the Rev Jonas Carson.
Agne Cherry was born at Girvan, Ayshire 14th May 1853. Her parents were Jonas Cherry and Mary Anne Thornton.
David Gibson married Mary Cherry, sister of Agnes, 4th August, 1868, same church, Rev Alex Smith.
Lewis and Agnes Gibson moved to New Zealand, arriving in Christchurch 25th October 1881. Lewis worked as a railway guard. They appear to have moved around a lot as their many children were born in various towns in the South Island, NZ. Some were born in Queensland. I'll give more details if you are interested.
Lewis and Agnes Gibson were my great grandparents. They are buried in the Oamaru Cemetery.
One of their daughters, Louisa Lewis (Lulu) married JG Dunn. They went to Scotland in 1924 and visited various relatives. I have transcripts of Lulu's letters home. One was wriiten from the home of Mrs Lamont, 55 High Street, Ayr.
Also have a photo of a photo of James and Margaret Lewis Gibson.
Regards,
