Anyone have any Gordon profiles?

Question

I'm looking for a WikiTree connection to James Alexander Gordon, naval commander (b 1782; d 1869). There doesn't seem to be a profile for him but maybe there is one for his parents or grandparents. I have a paternal aunt of his and I am looking to see if I can connect her to parents but as I don't know their names I have no idea who to look for.

Hi Eugene,

I don't have any Gordon profiles, but I do have some information for you regarding the Gordons & the Gordon house (wardhouse).

information on the house & resident is at:

http://www.scalan.co.uk/Wardhouse.htm

I think I may have found Isabella's parents on Scotland's People http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk in the Old Parish Registers.

There are only 3 births for an Isabella Gordon between 1742 & 1750

I'll list all 3 here:

1) D.o.B 21/06/1743 GORDON ISABEL ALEXR. GORDON/MARJORY ROBERTSON F BELLIE /MORAY GROs Data 126/00 0010 0057

2) D.o.B. 0/12/1747 GORDON ISABELL JOHN GORDON/ISABELL BURGESS FR128 (FR128) F CABRACH /BANFF GROs Data 177/00 0010 0118

3) D.o.B. 08/04/1745 GORDON ISABLE JOHN GORDON/ F CABRACH /BANFF GROs Data 177/00 0010 0112

Hope this helps.

All of my GHrdons are pre 1585, although Alexander was a well used family name.
