James Gawley, died 1970 Saskatchewan, Canada
« on: Sunday 11 September 22 02:04 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
Could anyone help find death or marriage records for James Gawley who died in 1970, Saskatchewan Canada please?

He was born in Ireland and his parents died in Ireland. His mother may be Elizabeth who died in Northern Ireland. Possible spouse may be Gertrude Molloy (she is listed as mother of a living person whose father is James Gawley but they aren't connected as a spouse).

My mother recently got her DNA results and found out her father isn't who she thought it was. We have a good idea who the biological father could be and after tracing his family tree there are possible links with DNA matches (surnames Watt, Mercer, Gawley)

The only DNA matches on the paternal side are inactive accounts with very bare trees. The only link I have to connect with our family tree is James Gawley died 1970 Canada who is listed on a few shared matches. I'm trying to see if he connects with the Sarah Jane Gawley, born abt 1860 Tyrone, Ireland and her father James Gawley on our family tree.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm bit lost at the moment!
Thank you :)

Hello :-) 

The 7 person tree, which has James Gawley died 1970 Regina, Sask. wife Gertrude Malloy - I can connect the owner of that tree to someone of same surname as tree owner, who is the grandchild of them.

She said in a facebook post,  they were from Ireland but lived most of their lives in Togo, Sask.

Also, I think the Tree is wrong and it was Gertrude who passed in 1970, not James.

then: Check out the Togo Cemetery
https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2458454/togo-and-district-cemetery

This is a couple
Gertrude Gawley 1900-1970
James Gawley 1887-1964

This is a couple
James A Gawley "Dave" 1922-1971
Marjorie "Ada" Gawley 1920-1933

added: seems "Dave" is son of James and Gertrude.
There is another tree which puts James 1887-1964 as having been born Ontario Canada, parents Hugh and Amy nee Masters , both born Ontario. Hugh's father James Gawley b 1834 Co. Down Ireland and mother Margaret Currie b. Argyll Scotland, married Ontario 1855

Cheers,

Hi Ambly, Thank you so much for the information! I was hoping it would be a nice easy link to my family tree but I'll have to do some more digging.
I really appreciate you taking the time to help! :)

Just a small typo  - Marjorie Gawley should read 1920 - 1993
