There is a Christiana HANDLEY aged 21 in the 1841 census at Sheffield Haymarket. She is listed as a female servant (FS) at an Inn. The landlord is a William BICKLEY. The reference is HO107/1337/3 page 12a I think I would send for the marriage certificate, which will give the fathers name and occupation. The closest I can find for a George GORDON is in Rotherham and he is aged 15 ( ages were rounded down on the 1841 census) so he could be 15-19.
