Hi,

There is this birth which could be worth looking at -

Reuben Gordon
q4 1839, Brighton, Sussex
Vol 7 Page 238
MMN- Stepney

As yet I've been unable to locate Reuben on any records other than above. Perhaps he changed his name to George

Thanks JJ.
I will look into this to see what I can find.  It will be interesting if he changed his name.

Thanks for your posting.
