Gibson, William John - 5th. February 1910 - Of Movilla Street - Was charged in court that on that date with assaulting and causing serious bodily injury to Mary Girvan. Mr.Alexander Stewart appeared for Mr. Gibson. Dist.Insp. Lennon said that he understood that Girvan had absconded and she was the principal witness. The case had been adjourned from the Petty Sessions but there was no further evidence to be given. He would not have objection to the charge being reduced to one of common assault if the defendant would plead guilty so as to enable the case to be disposed of but otherwise he would have to apply for a warrant for the arrest of Mary Girvan. The whole case was ready to go forward to the Quarter Sessions. He understood that since last Court appearance Girvan had gone back to Gibson and was living with him. The case was adjourned to next court, the defendant being allowed out on same bail of himself £20 and two sureties of £10 each.

Obituary of Mr James Gibson MM

Ref - The Newtownards Chronicle and County Down Observer Sat 15th Aug 1953.

Innumerable Servicemen and ex-servicemen not only in County Down but throughout the Province have learned with infinite sorrow of the death on Sunday of Mr James Gibson MM of North Street Newtownards.
The name of the Gibson will not be forgotten in British Legion circles locally. During the past thirty years or more, Mr Gibson played a major role in building up the Newtownards Branch. The name of Gibson, in fact most synonymous with that of the Legion - a movement to which he devoted his unflagging interest and boundless energy.

All Legion Honours.

It is indeed, a happy thought that during the course of his lifetime his services were recognised and fully appreciated by his fellow comrades. Not only is his name enshrined in the hall erected a few years at the rear of the headquarters in Court Square, but he was presented with that supreme Legion award, the Gold Medal and Life Membership Certificate and - only a few weeks ago - a Certificate of Appreciation from the Haig Fund. In his lifetime in fact, he received all the honours the movement can bestow.
It was in September 1914, that Mr Gibson joined the 13th BN The Royal Irish Rifles but he transferred to the 36th Divisional (Signals) Royal Engineers, with whom he won the Military Medal for bravery on the field at Cambria in 1917.
Some years after his discharge from the Army, this quietly spoken, sincere and unobtrusive man of action became an employee of the then Newtownards Urban Council and he spent the last 15 years as their foreman.

"Service, not self"

It is difficult to express in mere words the amount of work which Mr Gibson did for the British Legion. Only First World War veteran members can fully appreciate it - but, as would have been his dearest wish, the success of his magnificent efforts are reflected in the prosperity of the movement locally and in the excellent headquarters which the Branch is proud to possess.
His unceasing labours on behalf of War comrades served to emphasise that here indeed was a man who truly made his code and conduct of life the organisations noble motto “Service not self”
    He transformed this service into action on countless occasions. In 1921 for instance, when the first legion hall was built he was the inspiring leader of a small group of zealous workers who dismantled a hut at Clandeboye and re-erected it at Victoria Avenue. On another occasion, with his brother Mr William Gibson, and some other comrades, he erected the memorial plinth that still stands beside that hall.

Gibson Hall

Later, when the Court Square premises were acquired, he played a major roll in dissembling a hut at Ards Airport and re-erecting it at the rear of the headquarters. It was indeed, fitting that because of his tireless and enthusiastic work in this connection, the building was named the James Gibson Hall. At that time too, he was given the guest of honour at the diner given by the members and at it he was presented with the Legion’s Gold Medal and life membership Certificate. Mr Gibson gained for the honour as standard bearer of No 8 Group and he was chosen to carry the new colours for the first time on the occasion of the Queen Mother’s visit to Northern Ireland He also acted in the same capacity when the Princess Royal visited Newtownards for a Red Cross Society function.
    Another aspect of Legion work in which MR Gibson took part was the annual whist drives which at one time formed the principle source of income for the Benevolent Fund in which he took a deep and abiding interest.

Poppy Day Work

The annual Poppy Day occupied a vast amount of time and energy and for thirty years he did magnificent work as organiser. Only a few weeks ago he received a letter from the Directors of Appeals, British Legion, Haig Fund, in London complimenting him on his wonderful assistance and outstanding services and presenting him with a Certificate of Appreciation. An indication of his stupendous work for the Legion locally is the fact that for thirty years he held the combined office of Branch Secretary and Services Committee Secretary.
    He was a staunch participant in Civic Defence work in Newtownards since its inception, and he was a member of Unity Masonic Lodge No 433 Newtownards.

We tender sincerest sympathy to his wife and son, Mr Tom Gibson; his mother, who lives in Balfour Street, and his three sisters – Mrs Patton, Corry’s Quarter; Mrs R Johnston, Marquis Street; and Mrs S Orr, Bangor.

            Comrades Salute

The large attendance at the funeral to Movilla Cemetery on Tuesday was a striking indication of the warmth of regarding which he was held, not only in the ex-service circles, but in all works of life locally.
    The final salute by his fellow comrades was a singularly moving one. Behind the coffin, draped with the Branch Colours, marched long files of ex-servicemen wearing poppy’s which they later dropped into the grave.
    The chief mourners were Mr Tom Gibson (son), Mr William Gibson (brother), Messer’s S Patton, R Johnston, and S Orr (brothers-in-law).

            Many Wreaths

There were many beautiful flora tributes from not only Mr Gibson’s family and other relatives, but from the Newtownards Branch of the British Legion; the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Newtownards; fellow workmen in the Borough Surveyors Department; Town Department Staff, Borough Council; Newtownards Civil Defence Corps; and the offices and members of Unity Masonic Lodge No 443.

Services at the house and graveside were conducted by the Rev A M Adams, BSc, BD

of the pic from Michael McDowell you can see Willie Grahams cart as well... Pic was taken by Billy Steenson click to enlarge
David Hollinger adds that the shop on the left beside the Triumph Herald etc. was owned by the Gibson sisters
and the one on the corner right was owned by Jackie Hillis who caused a stir when in his shop window he published the names of
those who owed him money,. David lived for quite a time at 38 Upper Movilla Street

E.Mail from Anne Martin December 2015
I think this photo is of one of the Gibson brothers (twins I think) who lived in Movilla St . They were both very active in Greenwell St  church and in  orange affairs.
At least one of the brothers worked in Walkers.
Whether this photo is Willie Gibson or his brother I can't say.
