You may have all the following info...............but I was at a loose end this afternoon and decided to do a couple of look ups as I have GORDON and Mc FADYEN in my tree... hoping to find a connection....but sadly I did not...... I know your are not researching the SEEMAN name but I thought I would send what I found ...just in case... I was hoping that I could connect the SEEMAN or McFADYEN Families to the GORDON's and maybe to mine....If the SEEMAN and McFADYEN do connect to the GORDONs may explain why Kathleen was living with them as a Housekeeper... 1949 ELECTORAL ROLL Colin Vivian SEEMAN House Furnisher Lena SEEMAN Home duties William Henry SEEMAN Railway employee were living in 12 Peary St. Northgate in 1949 NO one Else at the address in 1949 1949 Kathleen Lilian GORDON King St. Charleville Home duties Alexander GORDON King St. Charleville Labourer Peter Roderick GORDON King St. Charleville no occlupation listed Sarah GORDON King St. Charliville Home duties...
