    3. Ambleside Herald & Lakes News 16-October-1880 Page 4 A Domestic Romance The will of the late MR. GIBSON of Ravenstonedale has been proved in the Carlisle Court under £250,000 personalty. This is the conclusion of a story that might readily be woven into a romance. Five brothers of the name GIBSON were born at the end of the last century and the beginning of the present one in one of the little dales of Westmorland, and the last of the five has recently died. One succeeded to the small family estates, two entered the Church, and one became a manufacturer in Kendal, the fifth dying comparatively early. All were careful men, each remained unmarried and each bequeathed to the surviving brothers, his wealth. The result is seen in the proving of the will of the last of the Ravenstonedale Gibsons in Carlisle Court a few days ago.
