A January 10, 1921 fire at the U.S. Department of Commerce building in Washington, DC, destroyed the majority of the population schedules from the 1890 Census.  It makes it difficult to try and trace John Gordon around 1890

Haven't come across an out going or incoming passenger list for Elizabeth Kidley in either name on Ancestry.
Nothing showing for John Gordon Snr or Jnr for a UK return on Ancestry.
No sign of an obit for the parents Henry or Catherine which may have had some further clue. 
Family appears to have stayed in Rhode Island.

Thanks Ashtone, that's the family in Rhode Island. Thanks too to all the responders but I already have all of the information - it's the US records I require.

They had a son, Jack Wilmington Gordon born in Delaware about 1890, returning to Britain the following year.

Just curious...in lieu of a birth record what evidence suggests he was born in Delaware? You mentioned a Rolls family in Delaware earlier.
