I am a decendant of William Robert Gale and Elizabeth Lawton Gale. Both born in England about 1830's. They came to Canada prior to 1853. My great grandfather, William Robert Gale, Jr was born in Canada in 1853. We do not know if he had brothers and sisters, but I was told that twins ran in the Gale family. Per my records, William (and parents, i assume) immigrated to the US in 1866, via ship we believe because William said that he was a cabin boy at age 13. Unless he ran away from home, we have a mystery as to why William Jr had chains tatooed around both wrists. William Jr. surfaced in California in the 1870's, but I do not have record of his parents. That is about all I have on William and Elizabeth. Elizabeth Lawton was born or lived in East London per her son.
