William Allan Gourlay & Janet Taylor

William Allan Gourlay and Janet Taylor where married in Kirkcaldy, Scotland. William was born December 06, 1892 in Kirkcaldy. Janet was born October 01, 1893 in North Shields, England.

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.

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.
