Biography

This profile is part of the Gibson Name Study.

[...] Gibson was born about 1395 in Ireby Hall, Lancashire ... buried at Askrigg, Yorkshire.^[1][2]

Ireby Manor in Thornton Parish

Manor: "in 1317 it was sold to John de Hornby by John de Tatham. ... In 1338 the manor was settled on Edmund son of John de Hornby and Margaret his wife. There is little to relate of its history. It falls out of sight till the 16th century, when the lordship was held by Redmayne and Claughton," (BHO).[1]

• Side Note: Joan, dau. of chancellor Thos. Metcalfe and Elizabeth Hertlington (Hartlington), married Christopher Conyers of Marske. She's called "Elizabeth" in the Marske pedigree.[2] ... Christopher is the grandson of Christopher Conyers of Hornby.

Research Notes

LNAB

Both Dugdale and Foster support LNAB as Gibson. Metcalfe (1898), calls her "Gelson of Ireby," in his speculative pedigree. Note that Ireby is in Lancashire.
