I've seen him called Peter on the census, but his son James lists his father's name as John Gooley on his marriage application in Parry Sound, Canada (Ontario). My Peter Gooley married Mary Ann Dennis of Canada. According to the 1901 Canada census, Peter was born 2 May 1842 in the United States of a French father and an American mother. Peter and Mary Ann had at least the following children: James, Ida, Daisy or Dollie, and Nina. All these children were born in the United States, according to the 1901 Canada census. If you have information pertaining to my Peter/John Gooley, I'd appreciate it if you'd contact me at dickinson869@yahoo.com. Thanks
