MEET THE COUSINS - (PART 4) THE CHILDREN OF ALBERT, & FLORRIE GIBSON

4. ALBERT GIBSON b 1906

"Albert married Florrie and they had two boys Norman and Alan.  Norman was the eldest.  I only vaguely remember Alan, however, Norman came to live with us at Winlaton Mill, after his parents emigrated (with Alan) to Australia.  This allowed Norman to finish his schooling at Dame Allan's  School in Newcastle."

"I never took to Norman; he wasn't nice to me and made me cry lots.

Some years later, when he came for a holiday with his partner, they stayed with mum, unfortunately his manner hadn't changed.
