Individual Details
Cormac GORDON
(5 Jun 1892 - Bef 18 Jun 1973)
It is posible Cormac emigrated to the United States. There is an Ellis Island record for a Michael Gordon who arrived in New York on July 19 1912 and who was joining his brother, Cormac, in New York. Michael's nearest relative in Ireland was given as their father, Cormac Gordon, Aughalustia, Ballaghaderreen.
An Ellis Island record was found for a Cormac Gordon from Co. Roscommon which may relate to this Cormac: on January 17 1912, a Cormac Gordon, aged 20 and a grocer, arrived in New York - his contact name on the ship manifest is a cousin (with what looks like the "uncle" written after the "cousin" William (what looks like) Recole (it is very difficult to decipher the contact name) followed by (what looks like) Powill, Somerville, New Jersey. According to the ship manifest Cormac had been living in Liverpool and his nearest relative in his home country is given as his uncle, Patrick Gordon of 156 Hatherley St., Liverpool. It is possible that Patrick was actually his brother Patrick who was a grocer in Liverpool.
However, a death record has been found for a 21-year-old Cormac Gordon who died of tuberculosis (duration was 12 months) in Aughalustia on 3 July 1913. The informant was his brother Thomas of Aughalustia. All of this information fits in with our Cormac above. It could be that our Cormac did emigrate to the United States in January 1912 but returned a number of months later, perhaps on becoming ill.
