Helen, I am not connected, but I strongly suspect that your "John" Gordon was actually Cormac Gordon. I draw this inference from:<br>* the following extract taken from the VRI (which is in Latin); and<br>*your own list of children, one of whom is named as 'Cormac' (a fairly uncommon name in Roscommon).<br>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br>GORDON, Brigidam Christening<br> Gender: Female<br> Christening Date: 12 Jul 1817 Recorded in: Laughlin, Roscommon, Ireland<br> Collection: Roman Catholic<br> Father: Cormici GORDON<br> Mother: Annae HUNT<br>Source: FHL Film 989753 Dates: 1817 - 1826<br>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<p>Also, Cormic may have had a brother, Martin, who married (possibly) the sister of Ann Hunt, ie, Elisabeth Hunt. As you can see, this couple lived in the same area, and had their children about the same time.<br>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br>GORDON, Annam Christening<br> Gender: Female<br> Christening Date: 18 Jun 1817 Recorded in: Laughlin, Roscommon, Ireland<br> Collection: Roman Catholic<br> Father: Martini GORDON<br> Mother: Elisabeth HUNT<br>Source: FHL Film 989753 Dates: 1817 - 1826<br>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<p>By the way, your e-mail address did not work.<br>
