No, Lisa, I'd not picked that up. I tend to stick to the tried and tested and was hoping that you members across the pond might be able to come in and find some more

When one lives in California, searching for Canadian, English and Irish information, you have to make do with what is on the internet.

Dean, after a quick look, a couple of people on RootsWeb posted information about Garraways.  They have immense trees...not sure how much research has been done for these Garraway names.

(I searched for Garraway, died Canada and Garraway born Bath.  Other variations may produce additional names.)

Arthur E. Garraway was a witness to a marriage in 1918.  He was living in Midland, Ontario.

Perhaps Gadget has already sent you a pm, but if not...if you try an internet search for "Garraway, Arthur Edgar" there are two results.  Apparently, a man with this name passed away in Ontario in 1958.  Age was 73.  I do not know if the sites are safe.  (I no longer trust unknown sites.)

Just found a BMD for an Arthur E Garraway, June quarter, 1958, Bristol v 7b p 77. Aged 71

So which is correct 

Not found anything for his wife, Nellie, yet.

Hi Gadget:

There was someone with the same name, who was born in Scotland, living in that part of Ontario.  He was born c1908.  Obviously, the birthdates are quite different, but it points out that the name is not unique.

Dean, was there a sister, Annie Kate, born 1873?  If so, she married Charles Arthur Herron.  Their listing can be found on:

If he didn't have a sister with this name, some of the information I have found is most likely not concerning your Garraway family.

Do not see either brother's Canadian attestation papers:

Border Crossing for Arthur E Garraway on 21 January 1914.  Born Bath, England, occupation: Gardener?.  Last permanent address was Midland, Ont.

Never in U.S. before.

Was going to Buffalo, N.Y. to Dr. Pierce's? Medical Dispensary.  Cannot read two words above this.

He was 5'10 1/2", fair complexion, light brown hair and blue eyes.

Dean, could this be your Arthur?
