Honourable James John "Hamish" Gow QC, Victoria, BC
« on: Thursday 22 August 24 13:20 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for any family history information on this man who died in Victoria, BC on 23rd February 2009.

In particular a photgraph of the man himself, or of his headstone, would be fantastic.

This is for a WW2 book I am writing. Orginally from Aberdeen, Scotland, Hamish was POW in Germany and went on to become one of the leading figures in post-war Scottish, and then Canadian, legal circles.

See obituary https://www.mccallgardens.com/obituaries/the-honourable-james-john-hamish-gow/

Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

You can use Scotlands People to look up his birth.  His birth cert will give his parents names & mothers maiden name which will enable you to research his ancestry

If he married in Scotland - you can use the same site to get details
