Name John George GORDON Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1861 Ruthin, Denbighshire, Wales 
- From the 1871 census where shown as aged 10, though not with his parents and siblings in the 1861 census so probably born after that. Shown as born Monmouthshire in the 1871 census, but as Ruthin, Denbighshire in the 1881 census, so it looks as though the family may already have been moving towards Liverpool.
Ruthin seems the most likely - a number of siblings were born Monmouthshire so he could easily have been dittoed, but he was with no one else born Ruthin in 1881.

John had been lodging with his future in-laws at the time of the 1881 census. Although his wife-to-be was not present it may well be as a lodger with the family that he met her.
