Title: James Gordon - "Manager" in Kirkcudbright in 1850
Post by: flashMinor on Thursday 24 June 10 13:02 BST (UK)

Hi. This James Gordon was mentioned in my ggg grandfather's (John Gordon's) will in 1850. I have no idea what he managed in Kirkcudbright or how he was related to John Gordon, who had taught in Moffat and had a school in Glasgow. If anyone recognises this James Gordon or knows anything about what needed "managing" in Kirkcudbright in 1850 I would be very grateful to hear from them.

This James Gordon is also linked in some way to a Jessie Gordon, who was born in Musselburgh in about 1836.

Fingers crossed,
Anne
