His will, made in 1911, and probated on 25th Nov 1918, gave him as Thomas Gordon, Lislea, farmer, his son, David was the executor and he inherited all the property.
Not sure where I got 1837 The 1901 census gives her as 60 = Date of Birth of 1841 - which cannot be right as she would only have been 14 when she got married!
She died at the age of 78 on June 9th, 1915.
Death Notes
Her Date of Death in Civil records gives her age as 78 = Date of Death of 1837. Present at Death was Joseph H Gordon, son.
