Allan, the youngest of the surviving brothers, had the best time of all when at home. Financially things were easier and most of the children had left home. He was married twice, first to Gertrude Eleanor Livington and, after her death, to Emma Pearce. There were four children of the first marriage, two sons and two daughters. Details are given in the accompanying chart.
His nephew Colin has provided the following comment:-
' Allan was never very successful. He became a traveller for a number of manufacturing firms and was probably paid by results or commission rather than by salary. At times he was unemployed but somehow always managed to find another job. He was a cheerful, outgoing, friendly man, always full of jokes and fun.'
His niece Leila has added a comment on his love of music: 'He was very fond of music and played the trombone. We had many a happy evening at his home -Richard Kitson (the fiance of Gibson's eldest daughter N ance ) with his clarionet, Uncle with his trombone, me at the piano and everyone singing at the top of their voices.'
