Gladys Alexander Gordon

[auntie bertie]

Can any one please look up birth records for this lady please (yes, Alexander spent the male way). She was born Aberdeen 15 Jul 1894 and I think her father was Daniel Gordon; but her mother is elusive at the mo.  TIA.

Thank you so much.  Thought that there was a surname of Coutts somewhere and you all have confirmed it. I may be pushing my luck but I think there is a sister called Christine Bone b1890?

You're very welcome.  Perhaps the death registered December 1964 - South Shields of a Daniel F Gordon - aged 70 years is a possible.
