Hello,
I am trying to find out more information about the ancestry of the following James Gordon, who appears to have been a hide and tallow merchant in Liverpool and possibly also Manchester. I believe he was a director of a company called James Gordon and Co. I would be willing to share more research about the wider Gordon family to those who have relevant info.
James Gordon was born About 1811 in Manchester and died in 1894. He married 1st Mary Emily Carter on Sep. 29, 1860. Mary Emily was born About 1831 in Liverpool, England and died on an unknown date. He married 2nd Anne Barnsley Shaw. Anne Barnsley was born in 1831 and died in 1855.
