Ethel (who married James George Gordon Clark) is my great great aunt. Her maiden name is Black. I actually have pictures of her and her husband. I'd be very interested in any information you have to share.

Hi I have quite a lot of info on the gordons if you want to send me a personal message I will quite happily share it with you I would love to see a photograph

I am helping the daughter of JAMES GEORGE GORDON CLARK discover her ancestors, and would like to hear from any other researchers of this Aberdeen family.

I'd love to chat with you. I really wish my nana was still alive, she lived with Ethel and James for a number of years as a child, before they had their own kids. Let me know what you want to know, or you could private message me if you'd like.

Hello Brittaya
Thank you for replying to my post. I have passed on your message to Dwillis and hopefully she will be in touch with you. She is just starting off her research and is a bit wary of the procedure, however I will encourage her to reply.
