Notes for Gertrude Gordon: I corresponded with Gerturde Gordon in the early 1980's and met her twice. Once at Bud Scannell's house and once at Bud Scannell's Scannellabration! She was a good corresponder. She visited Eileen and Frank Desmond in Ebbw Vale Wales.
In a letter to me Gertrude wrote: I wrote to him (John Joseph Scannell, her husband's father) but never got over there until 1978. He had died some earlier. I wrote to his nephew & neice for a long time and a couple of yeas after they died I went to visit their children (in Wales). This last year (1981) they came to visit us. Think she meant Eileen and Frank Desmond & Joanne and Bert Carroll.
Catherine Veronica Scannell Lynch traveled to Lapeer (Detroit) Michigan to visit Gertrude Gordon and family.
Children of Gertrude Gordon and John Scannell are:
