History
Born March 15, 1857, Ishbel-Maria Marjoribanks was the daughter of Dudley Marjoribanks (1st Baron Tweedmouth) and Isabella Weir Hogg. After marrying John Campbell Hamilton Gordon in November 1877, she became known as Lady Aberdeen. During his appointment as Governor General of Canada, she was an active public figure and proceeded to establish the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) in January 1897 and become one of the organizers of the National Council of Women in Canada. She was also the first president of the International Council of Women and encouraged the creation of the May Court Club. In addition to hosting many social events at Rideau Hall, Lady Aberdeen frequently joined him on his travels across the country and popularized many winter sports in Canada. After returning to Britain and her husband becoming Lord Lieutenant of Ireland again, she continued to be active in social causes with a focus on health care, including participating in organizations such as the Women’s National Health Association of Ireland, the Housing and Town Planning Association of Ireland, and Women’s Liberal Federation.
Lady Aberdeen died on April 18, 1939 in Rubislaw, Aberdeen, Scotland.
