Hi Anne

Have you tried to follow up the niece, Jessie Gordon, aged 14 b. Midlothian (I can't make out from the index I am looking at the birth place in Midlothian, it is transcribed as Mupellro?), who shows in the household in 1851 with Margaret and cousins?  It might point you in the direction of John's brother and family 

What were the names of Margaret Steel's parents?

Hi Monica & other Gordon researchers, I too have an interest in the GORDON family, but know very little of my Scottish roots. My Great Grandmother was Jessie GORDON, born c 1844. Details from the records of her children's births here in NZ, show her birthplace, as either Cupar, Fife or Dundee. She was the daughter of George Gordon & Janet ( maiden name unknown ) & had siblings, Charles & Margaret. Jessie came to New Zealand in 1860, as a ladies maid to a family called  HARDING. I have a photo I believe to be Charles, his wife & daughter, but that is all I know.
 
I realise this is not very much information, but just hope that you might have something that may be a link.
 
I would like to hear from anyone who may also be interested  in the same family line.

Kind Regards
