You haven't given any dates of birth, but could this be a possible?

Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935
Name: Robert Gathergood
Gender: Male
Age: 46
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1861
Date of Arrival: May 1907
Vessel: Carthaginian
Search Ship Database: View the 'Carthaginian' in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database
Port of Arrival: Halifax, Nova Scotia
Port of Departure: Glasgow, Scotland and Liverpool, England
Roll: T-502


He is travelling with his wife (looks like Susan rather than Sarah).
It looks like he was born in Norfolk and 'Susan' in Durham. His date of birth would be about 1861 and hers 1867.
