Pauls from New York, Canada and Scotland
Good evening all.
I am hoping that someone may be able to help me. I am trying to piece together some information on my husbands fathers side of the family.
I have found a few things here and there but am unable to find anything in Canada at this point and time.
My father in law is Harold Paul, he came to the U.S. through New York with his parents William and Kathleen,
Harold was born in Toronto on Feb 9, 1929. They entered the US on April 1, 1946. Harold was 17.
His father William was born in Orillia, Ont. on Jan 29, 1898. I know that on his border crossing card his nationality is listed as Scotch. He had a sister by the name of Lena Gilles (Gillie, Gillies) listed as a departure contact, living in Toronto and a sister and brother in law listed only as Mr and Mrs. R. Stressinger, they are listed as living in Buffalo.
There isn't a whole lot of info on Kathleen, I have a date of birth as March 16, 1902 born in Upper Gimmonbie, Scotland.
I believe that Kathleen's maiden name was Carruthers.
There is a possibility that William's middle name was Joshua and his father was Thomas Henry Paul and his mother was Martha Elizabeth Lynch.
Kathleen's father was Matthew Carruthers and her mother was Ellen Hanna.
I have a marriage date of William and Kathleen of July 26, 1926 in Toronto. William and Kathleen both died in 1959 in New York.
Any information would be so very helpful.
thanks
linda paul
