Hugh Gordon m Ellen Cassells

[Sunnyhill]

Hi, would like information on this couple, married 1903 Belfast and migrated to Canada.
Not on the 1911 Irish census so may have left before that.
Had two children I believe.
Ellen was b 1881 Co Armagh Ireland. Hugh, I think, b Ireland

Thanks

David

Belated thanks aghadowey.   

Not had any luck finding them as yet.

Online family tree at Ancestry says a sister of Ellen was baptized in Tannaghmore in 1883, and that they are the daughters of William Cassels and Elizabeth McBride. Indicates that Ellen was born in Turmoyra, Co. Armagh, but this townland is not familiar to me.

Hi  eileenwilson
That could be my tree. Should have said I am well up on Ellen's family pre marriage and have their wedding cert.
Turmoyra is between Lurgan and Lough Neagh or was...

What was Hugh Gordon's occupation at the time of the marriage? this may help find him in passenger manifest and census records overseas

[Sunnyhill]

He was stated to be an engineer? on his wedding cert [hard to read], address 11 Rockmore Rd, Belfast. Age full, father Robert a spirit merchant.
In 1901 Ellen's family were at 5 Rockmore Rd but no Gordons at #11

Port of Arrival:Liverpool, England

That 1915 record is for a Hugh Gordon arriving in the U.K. but I haven't been able to match it up with a U.K. departure, Canadian arrival, census record, etc.
