Birth Notes: Husband - William Harrison POLLEY
1979 according to 1901 & 1911 census
The family story goes that he was born in Rochester New York when his parents were on a boat trip from Trenton to Quebec City and return. Born on the return trip to Trenton. However this seems to be a story created to cover up the fact that he was born before his parents were married. He is in the 1880 US census as "Willie McGuire" with his Mom living in a boarding house in Rochester. It is likely she was sent over there to give birth as it wasn't uncommon for unmarried girls to be sent away to have their children in those days. It is unclear when or where his parents did end up marrying but they are listed as married in the 1891 census.

MANY TRIBUTES TO LATE W.H. POLLEY
Obsequies Largely Attended Service at St. George's Church on Sunday
The remains of the late William Polley, Jr., reached Trenton on Saturday and were removed to the family residence on Murphy Street, from whence the cortege moved on Sunday afternoon to St. George's Church for service.
The church where the deceased attended as a boy and young man was filled with his many friends, who gathered to pay the last tribute to his memory. Many friends, fellow workers of the C.P.R., and brother Masons of both Toronto and Montreal joined with his numerous Trenton friends in attending the obsequies.
The Church of England service was conducted by the Vicar, Rev. A. L. McTear. Rev. Canon Armstrong, Rector of St. George's Church for so many years and an intimate friend of the deceased and family, read the lesson. The choir rendered appropriate music and Mr. G. H. Cobley sang "One Sweetly Solemn Thought."
The pall-bearers were his intimate friends of Toronto. The honorary W. A. Bleecker, R. G. Weddell, W. H. Ireland, H. F. Whittier and W. House.
The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful and covered his grave in St. George's cemetery.
W. H. Polley, aged 43, former city ticket agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway, died early yesterday after a serious illness extending over a period of eight months, at his home at 60 Fermanagh Avenue. The funeral will be held from the home of his parents in Trenton, on Sunday. St. Alban's Lodge, 514, A. F. and A. M., of which he was a member, will have charge of the service. The body will be shipped to Trenton to-day. A Masonic service will be held in his home in Toronto at noon to-day. Mr. Polley began his railroad career as a clerk at the Union office in the Kind Edward Hotel, succeeding Christopher Bunting later as agent. In May 1913, he was appointed traveling passenger agent for the Canadian Pacific and in October, 1913, assistant city passenger agent. In December, 1918 he was appointed city ticket agent but was forced to leave his position in October on account of an illness which became aggravated, later causing his death. He is survived by his widow and four children, William, Alice, Gordon and Robert; a sister, Mrs. A. Maguire, and his parents in Trenton, where his father is employed in the customs office. Mr. Polley was a member of the Western Golf Club and was deservedly popular among a very wide circle of acquaintances.

Gord Polley was born on April 20th 1915 in Toronto. The son of William and May, he had two brothers Bill and Bob and a sister Alice. When Gord was a boy his father passed away and he went to Trenton to live with his paternal grandparents. Returning to Toronto, Gord went to Western Commerce High school and was very involved in the youth group at Church of the Epiphany, where he met the vivacious Betty Watson and other wonderful friends who helped to establish Camp Koinonia. Gord joined the army during the war feeling it was great opportunity to travel and see Europe. He served in a Bren Gun carrier group, and spoke often of his war time memories. Upon his return he and Betty got married and Gord went back to his job at Goldsmiths in Toronto. Their children Don and Lynn arrived and the families close association with Camp Koinonia continued. Gord started his own business in 1959 and although he was nervous it turned out to be a great success. There was nothing he liked better in his recreation time than to go hiking on the Bruce Trail or at Camp. Gord and Betty enjoyed traveling and journeyed far and wide together while also assisting the Rev Marney Patterson of Invitation to Live Ministries. Gord thought that retirement was a dirty word and continued his business right up until his last days. A faithful member of St. Matthews Anglican Church, Gord was superintendent of the Sunday school for many years. Gord loved being a grandfather and watching Tim, Jon, and Sarah through his 30 years of being a grandfather and recently enjoyed playing with his great grandson Jack.
