Gibson & Lister in the Dewsbury area of Yorkshire

This page contains data which we have analysed from research into parish registers, the IGI and census returns. All being well the analysis is accurate but if there are mistakes then they are mine alone and I apologise. Like everyone else, I'm human (honest) so please use this list as it is intended and check back against the original documents to be sure. Happy hunting.
