Hand written letter signed by Françoise Roy, 14 March 2003

Envelope mailed from Lauderdale Lakes, FL to Montreal, 13 March 2003

Series consists of letters from members and relations of the Wingfield family addressed to George Wingfield (largely before his assumption of the additional surname Gordon). Gordon was himself a Wingfield and arrived in Canada with other members of the family represented in this series.

Correspondents particularly well represented include Gordon's mother, Eliza Park Reid, her husband, Henry Nottage, and a cousin, Charles Wingfield. The letters exchange personal and family news of daily life in locations such as Allensville, Utterson, and Port Credit (all in Ontario) in the nineteenth century. The series includes several letters from children and youths. Envelopes are included for most letters.

This series was maintained under the title "Wingfield letters" in a binder by George W. Gordon's granddaughter, Sandra Moore nee Gordon. Moore transcribed (with annotations) many of the letters; these transcriptions have been included in this series, with files of transcriptions immediately following the originals to which they pertain. It is not immediately clear how some of the correspondents are related to the Wingfield branch of the family, but as Moore included their letters in this grouping, they have been retained here.

Moore compiled an inventory of these letters (see Series 7, File 104) but occasionally letters are missing which are present in her inventory.

In Moore's research material (see Series 7) Eliza Park Reid Wingfield is identified as George W. Gordon's mother. However, she addresses herself to him as an aunt. This oddity may be related to Gordon's illegitimacy, a fact with which his descendants (including his daughters and granddaughter) wrestle throughout these records.
