Misc. Notes
Name, date and place of birth and death, date and place of christening “_ _ych Gibson Born Jan 5 1792 at 9 o’clock in the morning and Christened at St Margates [?] Church Westminster” from Image 6 of the Devis Family Bible sent by Derek Dillon in an email dated 16 March 2018. Derek had copied the Bible pages, while visiting some cousins in England circa 1988. The Bible had been passed down through the Devis, Gibson and Dillon families. Derek is the x3-great grandson of Hannah Barlow (b.1759) and her second husband, David Gibson. (Hannah Barlow remarried after the death of first husband Henry Devis b.1750).

In a followup email of 2 July 2018, Derek Dillon suggests that this child in Image 6 of the Bible (first name not readable _ _ych Gibson) may have been from a marriage previous to that with Hannah Hannah Barbara Devis (nee Barlow). Derek writes:
...the first name I can’t read but found a Mary Gibson born on the 5th of January 1792 (to David and Sarah) and christened at St Mary's Church, St Marylebone. However, the bible entry is for the christening at St Margaret's, Westminster so I presume at this stage David may have been married to a Sarah at this time and then the next children listed show David and Hannah as their parents. So, more searching needed”.

Brian of nzolivers.com is therefore adding this child to a first marriage for David Gibson with “Sarah”.
