You've posted on the Derry/Londonderry board but are you actually looking for details on when James Gordon arrived in America? If so, just click on 'report to moderator' and ask for this topic to be moved to U.S. board.

Always best the original rather than rely on transcriptions from pay sites- surname is clearly GORDON on James' birth registration-

Thank you to maryderry for the information on James Gordon.

You still haven't said exactly what you are looking for  :-\

Most of the paying sites are actually quite good.
