Looking for Kirkham of Nottingham

I am also looking for any information on the Kirkham family. My great grandmother was Alice Kirkam born in Nottingham to Thomas Kirkham and Harriet Brown.
For some reason she told my father that her family were of Irish descent having moved to the UK at the turn of the century. I can find nothing to evidence that.
In actual fact I can find nothing to take me back with any evidence any further tha her parents. I do know that her grandfather was a William Kirkham and her grandmother was Sophia Moult.
Any information would be very much appreciated.

Looking for Gibson of Nottingham

I am new to this site which I found during research into my father's family tree.
I am hoping that I will be able to make some headway through the group. I will be more than happy to help anyone with their research if I can. My father was born in the Meadows area of Nottingham, but it appears that his great grandfather was born in Kirk Langley, Derby. A branch of the family moved up to Skircoats in Yorkshire and were school teachers.

I am struggling to find evidence of my great grandfather visiting Canada whilst working for Kiddier Brothers who were makers of hosiery. My great grandfather Was a hosiery machine builder.

Also my grandfather Frank Gibson had a sister Irene and two brothers. I can find no trace of Arthur, whom we are told married and had a son. He was thought to have been in the army at some time also.

Any information would be greatly appreciated and I look forward to digging my way back to see where we originated from!
