Individual Details

It is probably worth mentioning here that there is an 1841 census return for the household of an Irish-born Cormack (sic) Gordon who was living in Cheshire. Given that the name Cormac was traditional among our Gordon family it is a possiblity that the Cormack from the census was connected to our family. The Cormack from the census was aged 30 and lived at The Old Bridge, Wilmslow, Macclesfield. Others in the household on the night of the census were Brigid Gordon, aged 30 and Irish-born, presumably his wife; Anne (5), James (3) and Patrick (3 months) Gordon, all born in England and presumably his children; and James Gordon aged 25 and Irish-born, possibly a brother or cousin. The occupation of both Cormack and James is what looks like 'Excaugtor' or 'Excauqtor'. And a death record has been located on the FreeBMD website for a Cormack (sic) Gordon who died in Stockport, Cheshire in 1853. Could this be the Cormack from the 1841 census?
