Ruth, I have done extensive research of the Gowanlock name in Ontario and some Western provinces, Scotland and Australia. I am interested in the origin of the Glenboro Gowanlocks and possibly a connection to our tree. Would be pleased to hear from you.

Have info on BC Gowanlock - John Hendry and Mary Ann BROOKS. Willing to send your way. Son of James Gowanlock and Mary HENDRY, Gson of Wm Gowanlock and Christina LAIDLAW (married Scotland, moved to Ontario).
Wondering if they are connected to Glenboro - I do know that some of the Manitoba Gowanlock came from Quebec, but others were from Ontario.

Hi Karen: John Hendry Gowanlock was my grandfather's brother, so I have most of the info on them including a picture of the family (let me know if you want a copy).
As far as I know the Gowanlocks of Glenboro Manitoba originated in Chatham, Quebec (i.e., Ab Gowanlock and descendants). However, our Ontario family (descendants of William and Christian Gowanlock) had/has people in and around Deloraine, Manitoba.
Contact me at bradley@bmts.com to help me know your Gowanlock interest and info. Hoping to hear from you!

Hi Karen,
The Gowanlock that I have came from Chatham, Quebec. Father Adam, mother, Elizabeth Mary Blair, children are, James, John, William, Adam Jr,(my gg), Elizabeth, Maria. Living with family on the 1881 census was a sister to Adam name Maryann. I'm going to have to get out my papers and check your names. I think they came from England. I'll check and get back to you.

New Gowanlocks on the message board. We are part of the Glenboro Manitoba Gowanlock clan and are just starting the process of assembling our family history. We would love to share information and images with any distant relatives out there.

Hi Lois,
We're just starting to gather information on the Gowanlocks descending from Adam Albert (Quebec). We would really like to initiate contact with you as well as others that would be able to provide assistance. Thanks.

Hi James:

Our Gowanlock family is descended from William and Christian Gowanlock that came to Ontario from Scotland in 1842. His parents were Robert Gowanlock and Betty Oliver from the Hobkirk area of Roxboroughshire, Scotland. I have always been interested in knowing where your Adam's family originated from in Scotland and if possible, a connection between the two families. Do you know Adam's parents' names and his birthdate? I have one Adam in our family that was born in Edinburgh and christened on April 25, 1838, married Jane Aird in 1874 in Edinburgh. I don't have any more info or descendants for him, but I don't think this is the same person.

Hi Lois,
Thank you for your reply. It appears from my files that Adam Albert Gowanlock (b.1829) who married Elizabeth Blair (b.1831) is as far back as our family research has gone at this time. We are just beginning to research/compile information so hopefully as time goes by, we might be a little more helpful!
