No reason at all other than family stating that he was a Scot. He could have Scottish Ancestry. Two of his children were ...  Kathleen Margaret Johanna b 1904 & Alfred Andrew Thomas, b 7th Aug 1908. We think there may be also a William & a Jessie but we have not been able to find records for them.

We have a copy of the marriage cert. but we did not know her date of birth. How did you source the birth date?

I believe Jacob John Thomas Gordon b abt 1900 is another child.
His marriage cert contains the same address as JTG's death cert.

Yes, Treespirit!  You are right. We searched some old papers & came up with 2 more names, Jacob & Edward. Thank you!

We reckon there were at least 5 siblings, Kathleen, Jacob, Alfred, Edward & William. born between 1900 & 1908.

Still trying to find records for 3 more siblings, Edward, Jessie & Elizabeth Gordon. Jacob's death is on a gravestone, 6th Oct 1965, along with his parents. Have made contact with a descendant of Alfred Andrew who may be able to provide more info.
