Wigtownshire / William Gordon, bur. at Portpatrick, ancestor of Gordons of Lude/Barrisdale
« on: Thursday 21 July 16 12:53 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I am trying to find out more about the ancestry of the following William Gordon, buried in Portpatrick graveyard. He is the furthest back ancestor I have for the family of Gordon of Lude and Barisdale. His gravestone at Portpatrick graveyard (seen here: http://www.portpatrickchurchyard.org.uk/search-headstones.php ) features a crest of a savage with a club. This is generally associated with the family of Gordon of Lochinvar, but I have thus far found no definite link between the families. A link would be particularly interesting, since the Lochinvar family had a Viscountcy - Viscount of Kenmure - that has been dormant since 1847, but *not* extinct.

William Gordon was born About 1771 and died on Feb. 24, 1846 in Portpatrick.  He married Jannet McGarraway. Jannet was born About 1763 and died on Nov. 15, 1825.

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.
