Hi Giraffe! I am from Northern Ireland & also related to Joseph Gordon's wife Elizabeth. She was my Granda Thompson's sister. Her mother, also called Elizabeth, (maiden name Crowe) was born in Gortletteragh, Mohill Co Leitrim & (aged about 18) married Robert Thompson (from Farnaught, Mohill area,) on August 5th 1867 in Cloone, Co Leitrim (the church there no longer exists, only a bell tower). They had 11 children, 8 of whom survived to adulthood. . Sometime after 1890 but prior to 1900 the family all moved (now 8 kids surviving) to Portumna area, possibly Gorteenphadden. Sadly Elizabeth senior died 4 Feb 1900, aged only 50, cause of death I do not know. One of these 8 children was Mary Elizabeth May Thompson! She & Joseph Gordon had 7 children , 6 boys & one girl , Willie, Joe, Leslie, Louis, Frank, Bertie (Robert?) & Alison. These were my Mum's cousins. Some of these children are also buried in the Church of Ireland graveyard in Portumna as well as their mother & grandmother. The church was previously called Lickmolassy, now called Christ Church. I and a few cousins were actually there yesterday in Portumna area checking out the ancestors ourselves ! I have some hard to read notes which have been around for a while & photocopied to within an inch of their lives! but Leslie Gordon may have gone to live in England? Sorry I have no info on Eliz Gordon's husband, Joseph's family. Hope this is some help!
