Notes for UNNAMED (Spouse 1)
The most likely person found initially, that might fit, was Jessie Wilson Reid who married a James Gordon on 3 Apr 1895 and had a son Douglas Gerald born is that same year. However Jessie Wilson Gordon died in 1933, aged 66 years and James Anderson Gordon is recorded as being a widower when he married again in 1901. Jessie Wilson Reid had her last child in 1910 with father recorded as James Oswald Gordon thus confirming she was not the wife of James Anderson.
