Hello again
here is a link to the WW1 signup papers for one of the Gowenlocks from Manitoba - perhaps it will help sort out if they are related to your Gowenlocks
http://data2.archives.ca/cef/gpc005/357186a.giffrom this site search for Gowanlock and you will find more entries
http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/02010602_e.htmlalso, here is a site for Manitoba Vital Statistics online
http://web2.gov.mb.ca/cca/vital/Query.phpIf you go to the following site and look for Gowenlocks you will find 3 mentions - the information is not online but if you email them they will send you copies of the articles for a small fee (about $5.00 US I think) - that might sort out if these Gowenlocks are related as well.
http://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/ndirs/databases/bio.phpfrom this site you can search some online sources for births and deaths in Minnesota there are Gowenlocks listed under both including a John Gowenlock who died in 1931 in Hennepin County which is where I think Minneapolis is. You can order a copy of the death registration online and see what it says. It should be able to verify if this is your John Gowenlock.

Living GOWENLOCK
From this site is a reference to an Edgar Gowenlock arriving in May 1913 in the US and going to live with or visit his brother in Rev F Gowenlock in St. Louis MO. There is also an Edgar Alfred in 1911 who I am sure is the same man.
