Gibson, C. (F)

Surname: Gibson
Forename(s): C.
Nationality: Scottish.
Poet. Pseudonym: “C. G.” Author information from Chambers’s Journal ledger entry for “A Rainy Day in Spring,” published on 28 March 1891, which lists the poet as Miss C. Gibson, of Downieken, Dundee (NLS Dep 341/370). Note that the ledger entry for “In a Country Churchyard,” published on 20 September 1890, spells the surname Gibbon (NLS Dep 341/370), but the Scottish Post Office Directory confirms the spelling is Gibson (see https://digital.nls.uk/directories/browse/archive/85781317?mode=transcription). Possibly the same poet as Miss C. G. Gibson, who published in Chambers’s Journal with the initials “C. G.” in 1897. Nationality presumed from address. (AC)
