NoteManitoba vital statistics has an online index from which most of our information for Agnes is taken. The index for her marriage to Aaron gives her maiden name as Gibson. The 1901 census gives her year of birth as 1865, but her death registration shows it as 1864. The index for her death shows a date of 16 September, 1940, and her age is given as 75. Her birth year is likely 1865.

Agnes is probably the daughter of Thomas Gibson, born Roxburgh, Scotland, and Eliza Kennedy, born Eramosa Township, Wellington County. This couple was married on 30 November, 1860, at Eramosa Township. Later, we are on safer ground, for the Gibson family is in Grey Township, Huron County, at the time of the 1881 census. Agnes is with them, age 16. Aaron and Agnes were married in 1888 in Manitoba and at the time of the 1891 census at Argyle, Selkirk, Manitoba, Aaron and Agnes were living adjacent to Thomas and Eliza Gibson. Several children who were present with the Gibsons at the time of the 1881 census in Huron County were also present with the family at the time of the 1891 census in Manitoba.
