Any information on my g/great grandmother was Maria Gordon Sands don't know when she was born but i know she married William Duff on 31/10/1875 in Kilbarachan ,Scotland. They had one child as far as i know Maria Gordon Duff she was born 1877 at Napier Street, Kilbarchan. Her first husband was a John Dilworth don't know when they married or where don't know when they came to Northern Ireland or if it was just her? Not sure if the Gordon part of both Marias' name was a family name i assume so. Would be intrested to know any Gordon ancestors? Also any Duff?

1851 Census
William's father????????????
Name: William Duff Age: 17 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1834 Relationship: Son Mother's Name: Jane Gender: Male Where born: Houston, Renfrewshire Parish Number: 565 Civil Parish: Houston and Killellan Town: Crosslee County: Renfrewshire Address: Robertsons Land Occupation: Slater (apprentice) ED: 3 Page: 7 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 20 Line: 13 Roll: CSSCT1851_121 Household Members: Name Age James Duff 4 b.ca 1847, Kilbarchan, Grandson Jane Duff 49 b.ca 1802, Neilston, Renfrewshire, Head, House Keeper**** Jane Duff 75 b.ca 1776, Houston, Daughter, Carder in Cotton Mill**** Joan Duff 24 b.ca 1827, Houston, Daughter, Carder in Cotton Mill Walter Duff 13 b.ca 1838, Houston, Son, Piecer in Cotton Mill William Duff 17 b.ca 1834, Houston, Son, Slater (apprentice) Elizabeth Lang 18 Lodger
**** --- I have copied down the information exactly as it shows on the form, but I believe some of it has been transposed! I think Jane b.ca 1776 is the Head and Housekkeeper, and Jane b. ca 1802 is the Daughter and Carder in Cotton Mill.

This census does not give the relationships between people .... I think the 3 non-Duffs are probably lodgers.

I couldn't find William Duff nor maria on the 1891 or 1901 Census, so it looks as though they left Scotland some time after 1881.
