Hi
Yes Peter Gordon is a distant relative to the family as Ann Forbes (Thow) mother Jean Thow is a cousin to Peters Father .Incidently there is a ton of info on the Gordons of Crathie. Peters parents are Peter Gordon and Margaret Riach (or Reoch).
Mary Forbes and George Tough are my Great Great Grandparents .There son George Tough 1862 married Bathia Bannerman they moved to BC ,Canada and had my Grampa William Rettie Tough
The James/Ann Gordon dilemma may be the situation where Peter the father only wanted to acknowledge one instead of paying for two , thats a theory someone mentioned ,but we still have missing information. Or he died after the baptism ?.
It has been years into this mystery but I won't quit until I find the paperwork .what do you think of the theory of David Forbes going to South Africa ?
