Alexander Craig Gibson (1813–1874) was an English surgeon, folklorist and antiquarian.
Life
Born at Harrington, Cumberland, on 17 March 1813, he was the eldest son of Joseph Gibson by his wife Mary Stuart Craig, from Moffat, Dumfriesshire. He had medical training in Whitehaven, and studied at the University of Edinburgh.
Gibson started in practice at Branthwaite and Ullock in Allerdale, in west Cumberland, for about two years. He moved to Coniston in 1843. In 1849 he removed to Hawkshead, as surgeon to the Coniston copper mines. In 1857, finding the work heavy, he settled at Bebington in Cheshire, where he remained in practice until poor health compelled him to retire, in 1872.
Gibson was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London; his medical qualifications were M.R.C.S. Engl. 1846, L.S.A. 1855, and L.M. Edinb. (Univ. Edinb.). He died at Bebington on 12 June 1874.
Family
Gibson married in May 1844 Sarah, daughter of John Bowman of Hoadyood in Lamplugh.
