Individual Details

Laura GORDON

(11 Aug 1883 - 7 Feb 1961)

It is thought that Laura contracted polio as a child and suffered some disability as a result. She is listed in the 1911 census of Ireland as a boarder at 10 Gardiners Place in Dublin. Her occupation was 'commercial clerk'.

At some point Laura ran a café in central Dublin called the "Geisha Café." Later in life she owned property in flats at 11 Lower Hatch Street in Dublin.

Laura, who never married, is buried in the same grave in Deansgrange Cemetery as her sisters Ethel, Freda and Ivy.
