John Gordon and Christina Gardiner

John Gordon was born on the 21st August 1862 at Aldivalloch in Gaugh, Cabrach - also known as the Daugh. His wife Christina Gardiner was born on the 8th May 1865 in the parish of Grange, Banffshire.
Christina died at Greenloan in January 1943, and John died in Dufftown in January 1946 - with the following obituary published in a local newspaper (probably the Dufftown News - known as the Squeak?).

THE LATE MR JOHN GORDON.The funeral took place from Wardhead, Dufftown (the home of his son-in-law) to Grange Churchyard on Wednesday  (22 January 1946) of Mr John Gordon, late of Greenloan, Cabrach, who died at Stephen Cottage Hospital on Sunday in his 85^th year. Mr Gordon was born at the Daugh, Upper Cabrach, but in his younger days was a shepherd and later a farmer, and carried on a successful general merchant’s and seedman’s business in Grange, of which parish his wife was a native, and by whom he was predeceased 4 years ago – after celebrating their golden wedding. In 1905 he tenanted the farm at Greenloan, Cabrach, where he remained until he retired in May 1945, when he went to Dufftown to stay with his only daughter, Mrs Riddell, Wardhead, by whom he is survived. He also leaves six grandchildren, and five great grandchildren.

And here are some of the very few photos of them which I have - firstly with James Riddell and Catherine, and their granddaughter Dorothy, secondly with granddaughter Cathie, and then at some later point in their life.
