Marilyn-

I don't have any information on William Gawe, but I am trying to also get info on any Gawe's that lived in New York City in the time period 1800-1920. I know my great-grandfather was Alfred Charles Gawe who waqs born in Brooklyn, but have no idea who his parents were and their nationality. Since Gawe is a very uncommon name, and if William Gawe lived in New Jersey, it is possible that somehow he was related to Alfred Charles Gawe. Have you had any success looking at Federal or NYS Census records? Thanks....Dave Gawe Ballston Lake, NY

David,
My great grandfather William Gawe was a naturalized citizen in 1888 in Chicago, where he married and had his first child, before moving east. He worked in NY and lived in NJ. I don't know if he ever lived in NY. I believe he was born (8/3/1863)and immigrated from Picton Ontario Canada. I believe the family was Irish. I have not as yet tracked him outside U.S. But his death certificate states his father Hugh Gawe was born in England and his mother Mary Patterson was born in Canada. Let me know if you make a connection. Thanks- Marilyn Kelly
