My Great Grandfather was Edward Gate. He was born on the 6 May 1853 in Blackrock,Dublin. His mother was Julia Maude Guerin and his father was Alexander William Gate. They were married on 21 July 1846. She was a widow and had previously been married to someone of the name Bunton. I've heard that she later married a fellow named Grieves probably after the death of Edward's father. Her father is listed as James Guerin . I think there is a connection to Limerick as there is a photo taken of Julia from Limerick. I've no idea when either of my gg grandparents died. Edward came to Queensland ,Australia in November of 1886. He married a Scots woman Helen Malloch Bennett their only daughter Dorothy Nina (b.1897) was my Grandmother on my Father's side. Edward died in February 1927 and is buried in the Toowong Cemetery in Brisbane. His Grandson was named after him .Edward also had 3 sons Bertram William (b.1895 ): Edward Gorrie (b.1899) and Rex Bennett(b.1901)Does anyone one know anything about this family. I don't know if Edward had any brothers or sisters born to his father . His mother Julia was reputedly a widow with 6 children at the time of her marriage to Mr. Gate.
