Hi,

I finally found George Edward Gath thru the social security death index after sending for 5 other Georges. His father was William, married Fanny Hopkins and they came from Yorkshire England. Have tons of information on the Gaths if anyone out there has ancestors from that area. Took me awhile but once I found him I could go backwards. We have our family listed on ancestry,com under GATH/HUSKINSON
Thanks for answering the post.

Hi,
Augustus Gath and Caroline Glay had were my great-great grandparents. Their daughter Sophia was my great-grandmother. She married a Grandstadt and had two daughters. Her husband died so she married his brother and had 8 more children one of them was my grandmother. Her name was Louisa Christena Graunstadt. Her daughter is my mother. She is 92 years old. This is just a little of the family history. How are you related to the Gaths?

I am talking with a cousin (Paul Gath) who said that we are related to the GATH family that founded the company you mentioned. He saw your post and asked me to get in-touch with you. I live in Texas. He still lives in England and has memories of his grandfather talking about the Gath Family. There is still one of Uriah's granddaughter's alive, Violet Gath (b.1927). She has shared pictures from back in the 1910's!
Do you have a "Uriah Gath" in your tree? What are some names in your tree, we can trace to?

Matthew Gath (b.1780)
Matthew Gath (b. 1804)
URIAH GATH (b. 1852) -1st wife Ann Dodgshun (my gr gr grandparents)

Good morning,

Sorry it took me a little bit to reply. I understand that William Gath emigrated to Argentina. So far I know that they were originally from Bradford and that they were merchants.

Sounds like your family?

I'm tracing my paternal family tree - Jane Knightson Gath was my paternal great grandmother b. Mar 1877 in Morley, Yorkshire. Her father was Uriah Gath b. Dec 1853 in Dewsbury England. His father was Matthew Gath b. 1804 in Morley, Yorkshire.

Does any of these names sound familiar?

I am in contact with great grandson by his second marriage, Peter.

Samuel Gath from Tiverton

2004-01-24 01:58:16Z

I find the prior post very interesting.
My Great-Grandfather Samuel Gath migrated
to the us around the same time with his wife and six children.
One being my Grandfather Samuel John Gath.
During the second world war my eldest uncle was in England
and attempted to find family; of which he did not. All he
had to report was that we were from Tiperton.
I wonder if there was a connection for the US Gaths
or if was mistaken identity.

Re: Gath/Goth

2003-11-01 01:29:39Z

Interesting But be carefull - Gaths are less than 1 % of 1% bu there are repeats. My Grandfather was Fred Garfield Gath (Born 1881) & he married Hellen O Wolff making my Grandmother Hellen Gath also.

Re: Australian Gaths

2002-10-13 05:11:03Z

Have studied the Australian Gaths quite extensively and can't work out where you fit in. Samuel Gath and family (many children) came out to Victoria in 1850s and settled near Maldon. They came from Tiverton, Devon, England.Children spread out and some ended up in Queensland. We are definitely related to trotting Gaths. I am descended from eldest child.Look forward to hearing of your connection.

Greetings ~

I'm trying to research my great grandmother, Jane Gath Buckley's family. She was born in Dewsbury in March 1877, I believe she may have had a sister name Florrie.

Ggrandmother married my ggrandfather in 1898; they lived on Gilderson Street, York, West Riding. I've also found Matthew and John Gath who were young males on the 1901 Census. John was 14 and Matthew was 17, any relation?

Re: Gath ancestry

PatriciaBuckley46 — 2004-04-25 00:37:04Z

Hello ~ My name is Patricia Buckley Pugh ~
My grandaddy was Lionel Buckley, born 1901; his mother was Jane Gath Buckley, born in Dewsbury in March 1877.

I'm wondering if there's any relation to your family?

Recently I found another name that we think is possibly related to Jane ~ Florrie Sykes who lived in Middleton Grove, Morley in 1945.

Grandaddy Lionel came to America in the early 1900's after his mother, Jane Gath Buckley died. Lionel went back to Morley in 1945 to visit, had a cerebral hemmorage and died in Morley.
The newspaper article stated that Lionel was over visiting family and mentioned "Florrie Sykes". We don't know if that was Jane's sister or possibly Lionel's half-sister. Lionel's dad, William married in 1914 (after Jane's death).

she married my g grandfather William Buckley in 1898; had Emma 6/1899; Lionel 6/1901; Miriam 6/1904. Jane died in 1913 in Morley.

Ring any bells?

Re: Family tree

Patricia0657 — 2004-05-09 02:57:42Z

Hi Rex -

My g grandmother Jane Gath was born March 1877 in Dewsbury; Morley; Leeds. I have the info to get a copy of her Birth Certificate but haven't obtained that yet.

I believe she may have had a sister named Florrie Gath Sykes; as my grandfather was wanting to visit Florrie Sykes in 1945 but died unexpectedly and we're now trying to "pick up the pieces". I know nothing yet about Jane's parents... I'm not even sure where your family lived inregards to Morley Leeds WRiding; Yorkshire.... all these names are greek to me... Morley = subdivison of Leeds the City and Yorkshire would be the State and W Riding the County???

Re: Gath ancestry

Patricia0657 — 2004-05-09 02:46:37Z

here's hoping we are related....
Jane Gath was born March 1877; Dewsbury; Morley Leeds
she married my g grandfather, William Buckley and they had two daughters and my grandfather Lionel Buckley. Emma was born June 1899; Lionel Sept 1901; Miriam in June 1904.

Sound familiar???

I believe Jane had a sister named Florrie Sykes(?) cause grandaddy was wanting to visit Florrie when he was over in England in 1945, but he died unexpectedly of brain hemmorage before he saw her. He visited with his cousin(on his father's side) Edwin Bolderson whom i have had the pleasure to meet and get to know.

Could your Samuel Gath have been Samuel Courtenay Gath born c1878 Liverpool with brother Henry Frederick born 1872 Birkenhead? Both in England for the 1901 census.
If so, you are related to my husband's family through the marriage of Samuel Gath (1842 - 1901+) to Ann Stuart, and we'd love to hear from you.

kaymatjan — 2005-09-23 19:54:20Z

I have been searching for my father GEORGE EDWARD GATH for over 40 years with no luck. Everytime I come close the door slams. He was born around 1906 , his birthplace is listed as UPSTATE NEW YORK on my birth certificate and also on the marraige license. His occupation on my birth certificate says DEFENSE WORKER,however on the marraige license it lists CHEF. May have been in the ARMY AIR CORPS and i believe my mother and he met while working at the CORNHUSKER AMMUNITIONS PLANT , located in GRAND ISLAND NEBRASKA in 1944. Last trace i have of his whereabouts is ATLANTIC CITY NJ 1944. He left my mother after 3 months of marraige and all she said to me about him was that he ran off to FLORIDA with another woman. Any help would be much appreciated. I keep running into dead-ends.
Thank you very much

Re: NAME ORIGIN

R_Gath — 2003-08-31 06:02:00Z

Interesting you say Ireland, for I remember the early '50s when Living with Grampa (Fred G Gath) & Gramdma in Nebraska; Grampa would get mad & has wife Helen O Gath (Wolff) would say, "Now there goes that Iresh temper again." I heard this many times. I suppose some of us are from Ireland.

Re: sam gaths galore...

R_Gath — 2003-08-31 05:38:39Z

Hope I dod'nt already answer this. The name originates at least to the time of the biblical story of David & Gollith. Other info suggests that there was a king Gath & a city of Gath where David & Gollith fought. Good luck getting that far bach but somewhere in time we must have migrated to Euorpe. Did we go to Germany 1st or England 1st is a good question. Today there are more Gaths in Germant than anywhere else, but if you combine England, Australia, and United States, we have considerably the bigest number. Hope this helps!

My Grand Father was Fred G (Garfield) Gath born in Nebraska in 1881. His Father is listed in the '30 census as comming from New York, while the Mother is listed as comming from Ilonois. So far there is no breaking this ice and I can not proceed farther back than 1881. Fred G Gath did a younger brother that liked in Pleaston New Jersey & possibly also in Marlyland. I beleive he died in Florida (which I don't have the date at my finger-tips). Anyone with info would be more than appreciated hearing from at rlgath@earthlink.net.
