Gordon Gordon-Smith

[SWH1]

FamilySearch indexes the birth of Gordon Smith, father Gordon Smith, mother Elizabeth Rae, in Glasgow on 9 October 1863. Not 1871.

Also Margaret Jane Mure Smith, born 31 October 1865 in Govan, who could be Margo(t).

1881 Census: 3 Belgrave Terrace, Govan
Gordon Smith Jr      Son (Head) 21 Student Of Arts Glasgow Univ
Jessie Boure Smith 15
Margaret Jane Muir Smith 15
Rae Osborne Smith Son 13
Dalziel Smith Son 11
Norman Smith   Son 9
Elizabeth Rae Smith   8
Marion Dalziel Smith Daughter 8
Randolph Smith   Son 6

That could well be her. 

Great find.

The other children match the rest of the Smith/Rae family, with occasional spelling variations.

Interesting that Gordon is said to be 21 in 1881, implying a birth date on 1869/1870. It seems that the variability of his date of birth started early on!

Great find Monica. If only Gordon and Margot had been on the headstone..  I would just love to tie them together as brother and sister. I am convinced they are.  With Gordon being in Serbia 1915 and Margot working at an orphanage in Serbia in 1919. 

Thanks to everyone for pitching in.  Brilliant.

Rosie17,  Does it say where she was working?
