Hello Shelly.
George Gallin was born on November 3, 1849 in Sandford, Devon. He met Elizabeth when she came to visit family in Canada. My uncle said she told him there were many nights she cried herself to sleep because she never got back home to see her family.
They had four children:
1. George, Edward, born Jan. 7, 1880. He died on Sept. 28, 1885 of diphtheria.
2. Charlotte Lavinia (Louisa) was born August 6, 1881 in Vasey, Medonte Township, Ontario. She married John Morrow McWatters. She died March 30, 1940 in Waverley, Ontario. John died June 7, 1916 in Waverley.
3. William John (my grandfather) was born March 14, 1886 in Vasey, Ontario and married Lulu Bell Wyley. He died March 4, 1924 in Vasey and she died in 1981 in Orillia, Ontario.
4. Edith Eva was born May 24 (I’m still trying to confirm the year) and married Robert Knox Russell. Eva died June 18, 1971 in Toronto, Ontario. I don’t have the date of death for Robert.
I hope this is of some help to you. If you like, as I learn more I can provide that information, too.
