• Notes

  Margaret Phoebe, although shown in 1901 Census as a daughter, has a DOB with conflicts with that of her brother, James Gordon. Both of their dates of birth and dates of baptism are recorded in the St. Peter's, Ship Harbour register. However, whereas James Gordon is baptised in 1890, Margaret Phoebe is not baptised until 1897. In fact, she is the only sibling not baptised within a year or so of birth. My conclusion form this is that she appears to be a relative [or perhaps neighbor] who has been taken in to be raised as a daughter.
