In the research I've done on ANCESTRY.com - going back into Gordon Sr.'s lineage -

Gordon Senior - he was born in Brooke Twnshp.Lambton,Ont. on april 1,1910. (PARIS, Ontario is nowhere near Brooke,Twnshp.Lambton Ontario. It is in the County of BRANT,Ontario-almost 2 hours from BROOKE Twnshp,Lambton,Ontario) He died in orillia in march 1974.

his parents - father George was born in 1878 or 1879 in brooke twnshp.Lambton,Ont. and died there in 1902.

His mother EMMA Jane Schwartz (Swartz) was born in 1881 in Houghton Twnshp.,Norfolk,Ontario and died in 1913 in Alvinston, Brooke Twnshp.,Lambton,Ontario. they were married in 1902.

Going back further on his fathers side to Joseph Lightfoot (Gordon's gr.grandfather) - born in 1832 in yorkshire england and died in london,Middlesex,Ontario in 1916 (i think) -

he married elizabeth ann Inch (his 2nd marriage) in ottawa in 1871 She was born in 1846 in boyton parish, cornwall, england and died in brooke twnshp. lambton,ontario in 1907.

going back to gordon's gr.gr.grandfather - HENRY Lightfoot - he was born in 1800 in england and died in 1857 in middlesex county,ottawa, ontario.

He married Jane Calvert who was born in england. they married in 1825 and she died in 1877 in middlesex county, ontario.

No mention of Scotland in anything... Perhaps EMMA Schwartz has lineage going back to Scotland.

On Gordon's mum's side - Jesse Trill (born 1914 in Orillia, died in Orillia in 1998) going back to Gord's grandfather John TRILL, born in 1871 in Bradford, West Gwillimbury Twnshp.Simcoe County,Ontario. He married Ethel Kate WOODS who was born in 1878 in Orillia in 1908.

on Jesse's fathers side Walter John TRILL was born in England in 1834 and died in Orillia in 1905. He was married to Sarah Wilkes who was born in 1841 in England. I imagine she also died in Orillia. No further lineage available.

On Jesse's maternal side it goes back to John WOODS born in 1848 in England who married Mary Ann Vick who was born in 1853. She was from Rochester NY. Her parents were George Vick and Eliza Emily Bailey-no further info available.

Going back further there was no mention of John Woods parents Thomas and Selah's birthdates or places - most likely England.

Mary Ann Vick's parents George and Eliza Emily Bailey have no notations of their birthdates or locations either.

So going back to at least 1800 there is no mention of Scotland.
