However, her age seems to have gone up 2 years in just 4 months... Which might indicate that she'd had a birthday in that time (and maybe a recalculation).

On the night of 30 March 1851 here are [[Joseph Gordon]] and his wife Mary. The only problem is that the ages don't match with the Joseph and Mary Gordon that appear with Samuel in 1861...

	For Mary this can be explained, as when [[Joseph Gordon]] married [[Mary Healey]] in 1860 he was recorded as a Widower (and we know that [[Samuel Gordon]] and Hannah Gordon were probably born illegitimately in 1855 and 1858 respectively).

So this Mary probably died between 1851 and 1855. But I haven't yet found a match for that.
