Do you have the names of the children and when/where they were born?  When you're dealing with common names, the more information you can give, the better.

There appears to be a family tree with John Gordon 1876 (parents John Gordon and Elizabeth Kirk) and Elizabeth Simpson 1867 Born 14 July 1867 in Denfield Boddam Aberdeenshire and Died June 1940 in Westlend Hill Rora.

Three children named:-

Aberdeenshire.  - Elizabeth Linwood Gordon 5 th April 1905 Glasgow – 30th April 1980 Aberdeen George Burnett Gordon 7 June 1906 Falikirk – 1986 Aberdeenshire all appear to have died in Scotland.

Jane was born 87 Roseberry Street Hutchenstown Glasgow, Scotland.

Could this be your lost family

Yes this is the correct family have you any details on what happened to John Gordon or where he was born I have been searching for nearly a year for him or his parents details

Hello Grannysmoke,

Welcome to Rootschat.

Sorry, a little confused why you are telling me this is the correct family when the thread was raised by Buchaner.  There are no further details that I can see on John Gordon but it would seem he was born in Scotland and probably stayed in Scotland, so the best place to  make the enquiry would be on one of the Scottish boards. Despite alot of searching he or his family have not been found in Canada or the USA.
Sorry I am unable to answer your question.

Regards
Sandra
