Hi. Does this name ring a bell with anyone? This Jessie Gordon, who was 14 at the time of the 1851 Census, was staying on census night with her recently widowed aunt Margaret Gordon in Glasgow Jessie's uncle, John Gordon, who had a school in Glasgow and had previously taught in Moffat, died in October 1850. He was my ggg grandfather and Jessie Gordon may be my only way of tracing his family. This family also has a connection to a James Gordon, described in 1850 as "Manager, Kirkcudbright". I would be very pleased to hear from anyone who might recognise this Musselburgh/Kirkcudbright link!
Anne
