247. Cormac GORDON (Mary MORAHAN , Margaret O'HARA , Laurence , Laurence ) was born 20 May 1921 in Kilgarriff, Fairymount, Co. Roscommon. He died 8 Nov 2009 in Leopardstown, Dublin and was buried 11 Nov 2009 in Shanganagh Cemetery, Dublin.

Cormac received his secondary school education at Blackrock College in Dublin, where he was a boarder. After leaving school, he joined the army and was stationed in Athlone, Co. Westmeath during 'The Emergency' (as the situation in Ireland was known during World War II). After the war, Cormac joined the civil service and was posted to the Irish Passport Office at the Irish embassy in London. While in London he met his future wife, Maureen Hussey, through Maureen's sister Sheila, who also worked at the Passport Office. Around 1948 he returned to Dublin to work in the Department of Foreign Affairs, by which time Maureen had moved to Dublin from London with her sisters. He later moved to the Department of Labour where he spent the rest of his career, mainly as a negotiator in industrial disputes.

Cormac and Maureen lived with their family at 56 South Avenue, Mount Merrion, Co. Dublin.

Cormac married Maureen HUSSEY, daughter of Stephen HUSSEY and Mary RYAN, on 4 Sep 1951 in Dundrum, Dublin. Maureen was born 5 Jul 1924 in East Acton, London. She died 19 Mar 1995 in Mount Merrion, Dublin and was buried in Shanganagh Cemetery, Dublin.

Maureen grew up in Barnes in London. She attended school at a small French convent in Barnes and later went to the Sacred Heart Convent in Hammersmith.

By the time Maureen left school (during World War II), she had decided she wanted to be a nurse. After six months of basic training in a hospital in the Hammersmith area, she was assigned to the Navy and spent most, if not all, of her service-time at a naval base in Sherborne in Dorset.

Maureen's parents, having an Irish background, felt that their children would have a much better life if they were to settle in Ireland, so in 1947 Maureen and her sisters moved to Dublin. Within a short time, Cormac Gordon, a friend of hers whom she had first met in London when he worked in the Irish Passport Office, was back in Dublin, working in the Department of Foreign Affairs. Maureen and Cormac would later marry.

After her arrival in Dublin, Maureen began training as a medical laboratory assistant, and after qualifying, worked mainly in Trinity College and also in Dr. Steeven's Hospital. When her mother became ill, Maureen resigned from her job to care for her.

In her later years, Maureen became an active member of the Labour party; she also devoted more time to writing, a passion of hers since childhood. After her death, family members published two books of her work: a collection of poetry, 'The Tug of the Undertow', and a collection of prose and poetry, 'Into the Wind'.

Edward's background was German. Following the death of his father in North Dakota in 1912, Edward travelled to Rattenhaz in Germany (presumably where his father was from) and stayed 12 years. In 1924 he returned to the United States.

From 1945 to 1946 he served in the Military Police with the 3rd Infantry Division, and in 1947 he joined the Denver Police Department. In 1968 he was taken hostage in a foiled stick-up which culminated in a police chase of more than 300 miles. Larry  retired from the force in 1984 as a lieutenant.
