Alexander Gordon (politician)
Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Alexander Robert Gisborne Gordon GBE DSO PC (NI) (28 July 1882 – 23 April 1967) was a Unionist Member and Senator in the Parliament of Northern Ireland.
==Family background==
Sir Alexander was born in County Down on 28 July 1882, the son of Ada Austen Eyre and Alexander Hamilton Miller Haven Gordon,〔(The Peerage Person Page - 45735 )〕 DL of Florida Manor, Killinchy and Delamont, Killyleagh. Florida Manor, a late 17th-century estate, described by Sir Charles Brett as a "rather mysterious house", came to the Gordons by the marriage, in 1755, of Robert Gordon to Alice Arbuckle, heiress to the Crawfords of Crawfordsburn. The Gordons were hitherto wine and spirit merchants but the progeny of this marriage, David, established Gordon and Company bankers, later to become Belfast Banking Company.〔(History of Delamont Estate )〕 David Gordon went on to marry a cousin of his mother's - Mary Crawford, of Crawfordsburn - in 1789.
Florida Manor was sold in 1910. Sir Alexander inherited Delamont from his father. During his residence there his main legacy to the house was to demolish the redundant servants' wing.〔
