In 1896 he married Marianne de Monbrison (d.1953), daughter of Henri Roger Conquerré de Monbrison of Paris, but left no children. Gibson was an enthusiastic cultural nationalist and converted to Catholicism. He learnt the Irish language, adopted Irish dress and was a member of Conradh na Gaeilge. His nationalist leanings led to the bulk of his father's estate passing to his younger brother, Edward Gibson, 3rd Baron Ashbourne.
