I've visited their website and they spell it with one, I wonder why? My grandfather came from there and he always spelled it with 2 nns.

All the Ordnance Survey maps show it with 2 n's. Some of those maps go back 2 hundred years or more.

Try Killygordon.

When you enter from Convoy, it's spelt Killygordan.
