Janet died at the age of 25 leaving a husband and two children. The researcher has not been able to find anything about her prior to her marriage. Note also, Mary McWilliam (possibly her sister), who married John Gibson's cousin, Robert, and who died age 23.

   A photograph of this gravestone is available at the website Stewartry Monumental Inscriptions, Southwick churchyard, along with a number of others belonging to this family.

   NOTE: The family changed the spelling of their name from Gibbison to Gibson during the timeline covered on the gravestone. I saw this stone in 1981. It was perfectly readable. --goldenoldie 14:06, 28 August 2012 (EDT)
