Mentioned as the father of Robert Gordon of Lislea in 1st Kilrea Presbyterian Church marriage records, he is given as a farmer.
He might be the Robert Gordon who is mentioned in the 1826 Tithe Applotment Books, holding Plot 58 and paying seventeen shillings and eight pence except that he is likely to be a bit too young. If his wife was born in 1794, it seems likely that he was born circa 1790, which would make him only 36 at this time.
He might be one of the three Robert Gordons who are mentioned in the 1831 Census, living in Houses 32, 73 and 74, except that he is likely to be a bit too young.
He is almost certainly the holder of the farm in Lislea designated Plot 8 in the 1861 Griffiths Valuation (15acres). Robert Snr lived in House 8a.
