do you have any ref to his birth in Peel - there appears to be no entry in IGI (tho Gibson being usually Scots may explain this), but no family in 1841 census - the only James Gibson I can see is apparently son of David Gibson + Cath Moore aged 13 living in Castletown in 1841 (missing from 1851 as are his parents leaving just 3 sons staying with sister Sarah now wife of Wm Brine mariner in Castletown (all reporting birth in castletown))
