Alexander Roy Morris Gibson, called Morris, was born on 18 Dec 1903 at Lindfield and educated at "Shore", officially called Sydney Church of England Grammar School. Morris became a solicitor in private practice. He was interested in all things of a military nature and when war was declared he enlisted in the Army, serving from 1939-1945.
At the Congregational Church, Killara on 21 Dec 1929, he wed Jean Mary DUGUID born at Strathfield on 13 Dec 1904. Morris died on 08 Dec 1975 - his ashes were scattered at the SphinX on Bobbin Head Road, Turramurra. A quiet and gentle lady, Jean was just two weeks past 90 when she died on Christmas Day 1993.
Their daughter Sally Margaret born 18 Sep 1933 at Gordon, attended PLC, Pymble where her interests included swimming, art and bike-riding. Before marriage Sally was a legal secretary.

Ian's grandfather was part of the well-known Anthony Hordern family. In partnership with two brothers he founded the popular Hordern Bros
