Gourlay, William Allan (b. 6 DEC 1892, d. 14 APR 1971)

Note: According to my Grandmother, Elizabeth Sabourn Gourlay,

William Gourlay, was a cabinet maker. He was recruited by the USA to work in a furniture factory.
He was on his Way to Denver Colorado where he had friends. But, his daughter Mary Simpson Gourlay (May) had Spina bifid a so they wouldn't let her into the USA because she might become a ward of the state.

Dad (William) came over first in 1926. Was in Windsor 6-8 months before everyone else came over. Moved to Windsor because he could get back and fourth to the US easily to work on getting his Family into the USA.

According to Elizabeth, he was the only boy in the Family, he had 3 - 4 sisters.
1. Margarete
2.-3. Twin sisters - ?


Exert from an email I received from Jean Taylor Gourlay (now Straith)
"Hi Anthony. This is Aunt Jean checking in. Replying to your queries. Wm. Gourlay (my Dad sailed to Canada Either l927 or 28. Heading for Colorado eventually where they had friends who settled there. Mum (Jane) arrived Montréal Oct/Nov "28 They settled in Windsor,Ont with the hope of entering the US,but were refused entry because of my sister May's handicap(Spina bifid a) They left Scotland for the land of opportunity like many others. Dad had survived 4 years of WW1 and things at home were depressed..So with high hopes they arrived just
in time for the Depression. How about that for bad luck.?The migrants were Wm. Jane, Elisabeth, Mary, Jean.. Nephews James & Robert Finlay arrived sometime later(Maureen would know).All Dad's sisters (4) stayed home. Ellen,Mary Anne,Margaret & Robina. Kirkcaldy is on the North shore of the Firth of Forth .A bridge crosses to Edinburgh.. "

Exert from an email I received from Robert Allen Gourlay on 7-28-1999.
" Legend has it that my Dad (William Gourlay), after he married Janet took Gladys in to live with them as he couldn't stand the treatment she was getting at the Harvey's. Apparently the 2 of them had a great love of the Highland Dew. As did his father, Robert Allan. (I guess I took after him)."

Exert from an email I received from Grandma Papineau (Elizabeth Sabourn Gourlay) on 7-30-1999.
In answer to my question about why William immigrated to North America through Montréal instead of Ellis Island N.Y.
"I thought I explained to you why Dad went to Windsor first. It was close to the border and he would be able to work on getting May into the States,and since Canada was part of the British Empire I'm sure it was easy to immigrate there."

Jane emigrated to Canada with her husband Will Gourlay and sister Barbara Ellen, arriving in Nova Scotia in 1928. She and Will were not able to emigrate to the US because their daughter May was crippled. They remained in Windsor until they
retired to Colechester on Lake Erie.

Actually, I believe who you originally got your information from is wrong (and that is "my" sisters husband) they live in Concord, NC. I was married to Richard Jakey - have two children - Tina & Renay. Tina is now Tina Page and has one son - Gregory Scott Page and Renay is now Renay Shull - pregnant with her first child (due in a month). Richard lives in Florida with his 2nd wife - Mary. Tina also lives in Florida, Fort Myer, Fl. Both of my kids are in contact with their father (Richard). I also believe that Richards brother Bill lives in Florida. He has one son named Scott. They have one sister - Terri. She lives in Michigan - had two children, Michael & Shannon. There was also another brother - George. I do not know where he is. If you would like, I could get you a phone number and address for Richard and give you some more missing information. By the way, George and Shirley Jakey are both deceased. That was the parents.

Texte: William Paterson's father was Thomas, whom I did not know. From a lady who once gave piano lessons to my father, James, I heard that Tom Paterson departed Scotland from Glasgow. She was not clear about whether that was merely a point of departure for him or if Glasgow was actually his home. She speculated that he might have abandoned a wife in Glasgow.

My best guesses about Tom Paterson and his life after Glasgow is that he probably came to North America via Nova Scotia. I've heard about New Brunswick in old stories.
