Name of Gordon

42
This family came by the name of Gordon in this
way: Samuel Woodhouse (son of John Wood-
house) of Norley Hall, Chester, married in 1816,
Martha, the daughter of Louis Anthony Gordon,
London, whom I cannot identify. He had by
her (who died May 10, 1840) the following issue: —
1. Samuel Woodhouse (1921-1892), who had,
with other issue, a son Alfred Gordon Wood-
house.
2. John George Wood-house, Burg-hill Court,
Hereford (1823-1899), who had
John Gordon Woodhouee : born February
16, 1872. He was educated at Charter-
house 1885-9 and at Peterhouse College,
Cambridge. He was in the 4th Shrop-
shire Light Infantry 1894-8. He married
in 1895 Violet K. E., daughter of J. E.
A. Gwynne, of Polking ton Manor, Sus-
sex. He is a D.L. for Herefordshire, an i*
lives at >Soutbover Grange, Lewes.
The Woodhouse family has revived the alliance
with the Gordons in our own time, for Captain
John Wolrige-Gordon, son of the laird of Hall-
head, married in 1889, Isobel Harvey Woodhouse
of Trn'ham Park, Lincoln, daughter of William
Hervey Woodhouse (1723-1859), who was the son
of William Woodhouse (born 1788), who in turn
was the brother of the aforesaid Samuel Wood-
house.
GORDON -WRIGHT. — Rev. Charles Gordon-
Wright is M.A. (Trinity College), Cambridge. He
was ordained deacon 1879 and priest 1880. He
was curate of Stowlingtoft, Suffolk, 1879-80: of
Putney, 1881-5: Euston, Suffolk, 1890-1: and vic<ir
of Trumpingtou, Cambridge, 1891-1902. He in-
forms me that he was called Gordon after his
godfather, the Hon. and Rev. Douglas Gordon,
Canon of Salisbury (and son of the 4th Earl of
Aberdeen), who was at Trinity College, Cam-
bridge, with his father. The name appears in
another Wright family, for Mr Osmund Gordou
Wright, born 1869, is the son of Mr John Wright
of Osmaston Manor, Derby, and then of Hawk-
hiwst, Sussex, by his wife Florence, daughter of
Edward Royd Rice of Dane Court, Kent (Burke's
Landed Gentry).
