Did Gordon die in 1882 or 1858?
"While married to the Hon. Frances, Lord William had another affair and fathered an illegitimate son, William Conway Gordon (1798–1882). He arranged for the boy to receive an education and settled a reasonable income upon him. William Conway Gordon served as ADC to General Sir Peregrine Maitland, a relative by marriage of Lord William, being a distant cousin of the Hon. Frances.[2]
William Conway Gordon entered services for the Bengal Army in 1815, belonging to the 53rd Native Infantry. He married Louisa Vanrenen, daughter of Brigadier-General J. Vanrenen, Honourable East India Company's Service, in Bengal in 1828. They had four children: William George Conway Gordon, Francis Ingram Conway-Gordon, Lewis Conway-Gordon and Charles Van Renen Conway-Gordon. William Gordon was promoted lieutenant in 1851 in the 91st to lieutenant, then captain in 1854. He married Jane Miller Dickson (September 18, 1824 - January 27, 1876) in 1857, and died the following year. Jane Gordon is buried in the English Cemetery, Florence.[3]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.15.127.199 (talk) 23:17, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
