That is a great find, Rosie  :)

It is Margot you are trying to pin down isn't it?

Just a thought here. Wondering Rosie whether the Margot you have found is different to the sister of Randolph and Gorgon?

Sister was named Margaret Jane Muir Gordon born 1865 www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FQ7G-JFQ

So could Margot Marjory Cecilia Gordon-Smith be a niece?

Yes Monica I would agree on this Margot not being his sister maybe she is a daughter of Randolph
Pity not finding anything else on her This address was used up till 1954 ...

Same here Monica been going through some of the family trying to get a link with this Margot which is obviously not the one I found on the Nursing records ...Was wondering if she could have been a first wife of Gordon Gordon -Smith

On one of  the passenger lists 1917 Gordon Gordon - Smith is listed as being a widow so maybe Margot was his wife
