I am trying to find out where my late grandmother Balcom's first cousin Eric Valentine Gordon and wife Ida Lilian (Pickles) Gordon are buried. Eric died on July 29, 1938 at Royal Infirmary Patients Home. His wife Ida is listed in the BMD died in Sheffield,England the year was 1980 from Jan to Mar.  I am also trying to find their obits too.
Eric Valentine Gordon was a professor at Manchester University until he passed away. Eric and his wife Ida lived in the Marple Bridge area. Eric Gordon parents were from British Columbia. His mother Anne Lowden(McQueen) Gordon was of the Presbyterian faith.

Hi Redwagon

Welcome to RootsChat  :)

There is a small obituary for Eric V Gordon in The Times Newspaper (Monday, Aug 01, 1938; pg. 12; Issue 48061; col E). However, more information is to be found on him on these types of links:
