Im looking for a Mary Ellen Gordon born in Liverpool. I think I may just have found her in service to a farmer but the census gives birthplace as Egremont, Cumberland. I noticed there are some Gordons in Egremont and on a later census Mary Ellen is married in Liverpool but her first son's birthplace is Egremont.
