Looking for information on John Gately and Mary Waldron. I believe that both were from Roscommon and that additional Gately's came to San Francisco in the 1850's from Roscommon as well and were related.

I believe John arrived from Hawaii in 1853 and it is possible that he came en route from Australia. A family grave at Mission Dolores in SF states family are natives of Roscommon.

John and Mary had 4 children all born in SF:
1. John F. Gately d. 1907 in SF
2. William Gately d. SF (believe without issue)
3. Anne Gately m. 1880 to John Manning
4. Mary Gately b. 1864 d. 1906 in SF married Henry Tasset

Death Cert of John F. Gately states parents name including mother's maiden name of Waldron.

Griffiths Valuation shows a single Waldron in Cam parish and many Gately's there as well. My guess is that they were from this parish. There are 2 John Gately's listed in Cam in Coolagarry and Cornalee. A Thomas Waldron is in Curry, Cam, Roscommon.

The LDS British Isles Vital records set of CDs list a number of baptisms of John Gately, including:
Athlone and Drum Catholic parish

31 Mar 1929 Father James, Mother Catherine Kelly, LDS Film 989750. Also lists siblings Bridgid 1831 and Maria 1839. Same LDS film number.

The film will list sponsors and rarely townland.

I did not catch that name was Waldon for Cam. I now see based on Griffiths that Gatelys and Waldrons seem to only appear in Fuerty Townland in Roscommon.

Thanks for the additional information. Regarding the other posting for Gatelys in Contra Costa, I have seen this record as well and know that they are not the same family, but I guess cousins in some form or another as I know from my great grandfather that there were cousins of John Gately living in SF.

Ed,

It turns out about 6 Gately's are buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Oakland, California including the head of household John Gately from San Pablo. There is an obit for him and he was from Taghmaconnell. Another Gately in the cemetary is Alice (Naegle) Gately who was married to John Francis Gately, my gg uncle. I found a record showing that John and Alice had a son born July 11, 1890 in SF. I don't know boys name. Stronger evidence that these families are closely related.
