folks - many thanks for the prompt replies - it would seem that after Sarah died, Thomas Gordon took up with Jeannie McClelland (never married) and lived together until his death in 1943.

Jeannie was the daughter of Annie Cuthbert. Annie Cuthbert was the sister of William Cuthbert - therefore he lived over the brush with his step niece (?) who had come from a broken marriage. Jeannie was my great grandmother.

If anyone stumbles on any more information please let me know

Thanks
John

I have stumbled onto this thread because of research into the Power family of Holywood Co Down. I have discovered that Anna Power married Henry McFall and would be interested in adding relevant McFall information to my knowledge
I believe that Anna McFall ended up living with her daughter Marion (a teacher) in Gilford (1901 Census). I am also led to believe that Henry was buried in Gilford (Tullylish).

Can anyone enlighten me further or be willing to share info

Cheers

Devon Lookup Requests / Re: BURGOYNE Family of Plymouth (Ancestors of Cleopatra Cecilia Burgoyne, b. 1844)

Had a look tonight at my saved documents and to my disgust I have saved them in html format for a subscription site so cannot access them without paying up - again. I will do this next week but like Grant have limited time due to the demands of youngsters.

I did however do a scan of references in the Belfast Newsletter for J Burgoyne - throughout 1859/60 there are many references to his involvement in the formation of Holywood (4 miles east of Belfast) Gas Company
In 1864 there seem to be references to be reelected as a director for same
Also in 1864-5 references to his involvement in the creation of Public Baths in Holywood.

Cant find much after this (one possible hit in 1867).

Will pay up next week and do a trawl for him again, and save them as pdf files this time for posterity - and this thread!!! Is it possible to post pdf files here?

Wow - thats some info from Grant - can't compete with that!

Just a smidgeon of new info on John Burgoyne, Cleos dad. I was scanning PRONI's site today and noticed the following entries

Belfast and Province of Ulster Directory 1863-4 pages307 and 734

'Burgoyne,John, civil engineer Belfast Barracks 43 Mountview' AND
'Burgoyne,John, Spafield' (Holywood)

Same directory 1858-9
Burgoyne J Riversdale (Holywood) pages 440-1

Same directory 1865 page 773
Burgoyne John, Spafield

We can place John in the Holywood area before Cleo married William Power. Was he stationed in Belfast/ living in Holywood, working for the army before being moved to Dundalk? Dates would fit and enable a courtship period before Cleos marriage in 1867

thanks, but still struggling - if James was 26 in 1901 I guestimate that his father would be about 50-55 by 1901. I know James was born in Co Down, I also think from an American relative that he was buried in Drumbo, but nothing more definite than that.
