Two Mary Gordon's are registered as having died between the 1851 census and 1860 in St. Geo. East. The first in Oct-Dec 1854 (vol 1c, p373), the other in Jan-Mar 1859 (vol 1c, p35).

Children

He had the following children:

  • Mary Gordon, born around 1849 in St George (in the East).
  • Samuel Gordon, born on the 17th April 1855 at 11 Plough Alley, St George (In the East), Middlesex.
  • Hannah Gordon, born around 1858 at 11 Plough Alley, St George (in the East)

At the same time (1855) as Joseph was recorded as living at 11 Plough Alley, so was a couple called James and Susannah Wenden (he was a shoemaker). It seems likely that they shared the house (perhaps it was split into multiple dwellings).
