Floras brother George F. Gibson b.1894. married Eunice E Jones b. 1900, d.1975. They had a son called George A. Gibson b. 1928, he was very close to my mum ( Jean Frances Gibson b. Dec 1932, d. Jan 2019),.
I am not sure when George A Gibson went to America, or taken by his parents. But just trying to establish for his son Glenn Gibson b.1963 who was born and lives in America ( who Im now in contact with) , Why hes the only Gibson living out there. He has no idea of his family background. Is there anyone that can find anything on the 1939 census please. Glenn did not know about his Scottish ancestors.
Many Many thanks to all of you that can help.

in the 1939 England and Wales Register
Name Eunice E Gibson
Gender Female
Marital Status Married
Birth Date 9 Feb 1901
Residence Date 1939
Address 2 Stewartby, Bedford
Residence Place Bedford, Bedfordshire, England
Occupation Unpaid Domestic Duties
Line Number 7
Schedule Number 2
Sub Schedule Number 2
Enumeration District Dqer
Borough Bedford
Registration district 174-3
Inferred Spouse
George F Gibson
Household Members 1

Also in the household, although not transcribed on Ancestry, were:
George F Gibson, 26/2/1894, foreman welder

And one closed record, who will be George A Gibson.

So far, I don't see the marriage of George F and Eunice, nor George A's birth.

EDIT:
George A was born in Boston, Massachusetts - per travel record in next post.

Presumably George F and Eunice married in the USA, though I can't find a record.
