Lislea.
Birth Notes
Date of Birth of 24/02/1881 from Al Luce, using US WW1 Draft Registration card. Confirmed by 1901 census where he is 17. I now have his Birth Record which gives his DoB as 21st February 1884 at Lislea, to Thomas Gordon, Farmer, and his wife, Jane Gordon, formerly Coulter; a Mary McKay "Aunt" from Lislea registered the birth and said she was present but she is his great aunt not his aunt.

This shows that my grandfather, Tommy Gordon, had two brothers but both must have died which was why he had to return from New York to tend the family farm in 1920.
He died at the age of 73 in 1957.
