Thank you - yeah that is POSSIBLY my family. I was trying to find out more about Ann, the niece to help find a baptism for John himself.

Cheers,

Peter

Maura Report 7 Oct 2013 15:40

None of John & Mary's childrens baptism are coming up, nor a baptism that would fit Ann's. But not all church records are online, alot are still held in the custody of the church. So depending on their religion you would have to find out which chuch they belonged too.

Peter Report 20 Oct 2013 22:49

Thank you Maura ... just seen this. Not been online for sometime.

The family were RC and I THINK moved to Coatbridge, near Glasgow, in Scotland, at least by 1855 when William Gordon seems to have had a daughter there (who was married in Belfast in 1851 to Rose Kerr).

I descend from James, born c. 1836 (but a little older and living away from this family according to the census). He died later in Middlesbrough, so the family are quite far flung.

Also, found marriages for sisters Mary and Sarah in Coatbridge, Scotland, but NOTHING for Jane, John or Robert (who of course, may have died in Ireland), and this is ONLY if there two families are the one and same!

Is there a way to prove it?

William Gordon the son of John and Mary ... basically, I have a family seeming to match this family from the 1851 census. I have a birth certificate from Scotland saying William Gordon (son of John Gordon and Mary Burns) married Rose Kerr in Belfast in 1851.

Thank you GlasgowLass, the family in Middlesbrough are my family ... but, just trying to connect them to the family in Ireland.

Peter,
On the 1871 census, William's mother is lised in the household.
She and William said they were both born in Co Down.

I have included her death info.

Will the DC will give any info re her husband?


I assume that what you are trying to determine is if she was the mother of BOTH James and William Gordon?

EDIT:
Apologies Peter... I see now what it is that you are looking for!
