Cases: 86 Robert Gibson. 98 Thomas Gibson. 99 John Gibson. She is the wife of Adam Gibson and they have three children. Her youngest, Robert Gibson, 16 months, was vaccinated in early October 1851. A man called on several occasions enquiring for children to be vaccinated. She was reluctant at first as the child was unwell, but then agreed and it took well. At the same time he vaccinated her neighbour, Mrs Hughes' child, but that did not take. He was a 'middle sized man, rather lusty, light hair'. He than asked her the names of her other children and noted them down, saying that he had been vaccinating some children 'out of the district which I shall not get paid for'. He also noted the names of Mrs Jackson, another neighbour's, children. He later called to collect the 'matter' and told her that if anyone made enquiries she was to say that he had vaccinated all the children. A man with spectacles called and she told him this.
