Mr Gordon, probably in Toxteth
« on: Sunday 25 January 26 18:04 GMT (UK) »
Please can anyone help me find the Mr GORDON who married Margaret Ann nee DAVIES born 1871?

They were living in Liverpool/Toxteth Park and their son William was born there in 1902.

1911 Census shows Margaret and William with her brother William DAVIES and family. Margaret's husband is elsewhere. Their marriage has lasted 11 years.

1921 Census shows Margaret now Widowed, with son William.

So I'm looking for a marriage and/or death of Mr ? GORDON :-\

Thanks to all of you who have suggested ideas for following up Margaret Gordon and her husband.
 
However, so far nothing seems to 'fit'.  :(

Margaret (Davies) is living with her parents at the 1901 Census.
 
In 1911 Margaret's husband is not with her, but their marriage has lasted 11 years. I wonder if Mr Gordon is at sea? Or they aren't actually married? (I can't find the son's birth anywhere).

Any other suggestions please?  :-\
