Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
The subscription site Roots Ireland has baptismal records for three older siblings to William in the Ballindrait Presbyterian church-- Sarah 1828 Eliza 1831 Andrew 1834 I did not find the mariage record. Roots Ireland does not have marriage records for Ballindrait Presbyterian church. I also did not find a marriage record for the younger William Gordon and Eliza Chambers. Did they marry in Ireland?
The 1857 Griffiths Valuation for Clonleigh civil parish shows a few Gordon records but no William. Was the father deceased or had they left the parish?

FYI. One set of my great-great grandparents (Brennan) came from Clonleigh parish.

Roger, thank you so much for that information. William Gordon and Eliza Chambers married in Iowa, USA. They are my 3rd great grandparents. I should have specified William Gordon, Jr. and William Gordon, Sr. I've hit the wall on William Gordon, Sr. On the bright side, two years ago I didn't know a think about William Gordon and Eliza Chambers. Had no idea my ancestors came from Ireland. I so appreicate you sending this to me and will check out the Griffins Value link.
Rogers, OOPS, Didn't answer the lasts question: Wm. Gordon Sr. also emmagrated from Ireland to Iowa, USA. (I believe in 1885 or 1886). Do you know of any graveyard info in Clonleigh? I appreicate the informaiton. Clearly you are more knowledgeable regarding Irish Geneaology Research -- I'll take all the help I can get. ;). Christine
