Got all information from Lancashire Library last night - and it is my GGGG grandfather. On his son's death cert it also says the father John was a "nailor", so I think it's right enough. |

Suzi, I was thinking that it could well be sailor. |

Well, isn't that curious? We've got 2 different stories! A butcher or a nailor. His wife was trying to poison him or she was having an affair. Surely there couldn't have been 2 of them? |

Can anyone help please- I believe my Great Great Great Great Grandfather (John Gibson of Hawick) was hanged in 1814 for murdering his wife - has anyone any idea how I can get more info on this, ie his wife's name - how many children they had etc. Any help would be appreciated, |
