    3. Dear List I thought I would list another of the families which I am researching, hoping to contact other interested researchers. John GIBSON convict to New South Wales second offence, to Port Arthur, Tasmania. Bridget Tahney convict direct to Tasmania. John GIBSON convict married Bridget TAHNEY convict 1849 Tasmania. Known Children: Arthur George GIBSON birth unknown. Hannah GIBSON bapt 1850 Tasmania married Francis Reynolds Yass N.S.W. 1870. John GIBSON bapt 1852 Tasmania. James GIBSON bapt 1853 Tasmania married 1885 Harriet Randall Yass N.S.W. 1875. When James GIBSON died 1885 his brother Arthur George GIBSON stated his father John GIBSON as a compositor and his mother as Mary WHITEHEAD. Now all I can say, through much research and reference: is that when their son James Gibson died 1885 all may have believed his mothers maiden name was Mary WHITEHEAD however, she was not Mary WHITEHEAD or Mary MORTEN or Bridget TURNER or Bridget MORETON as used as alias's while she was in Tasmania, she was BRIDGET TAHNEY from County Leitrum. her father was Bryan TAHNEY her mother had died her brothers Michael, James and Patrick and sisters Catherine and Mary were all living at Leitrum, Ireland. I hope this gives some direction and of course, I hope to contact descendants. Regards Rhonda Newell Wamberal New South Wales.
