I have Gayle’s m/1 as Keith Cullen from Trur o.



These first two obits below would pla ce 3 of Gayle’s sons with the
surname, CULLEN. I have 3 of her 4 so ns born in Truro between Nov 1962 and
Sep 1965. Son, Travis may possibly be her son/step-son somehow associated
with m/2, Terry David Shaw.



Keith Cullen is now m/2 Carol (?) who was also pos sibly previously married
[step grandchildren, Angel, Kitchener, Ontario]



In 2006, Grampa references 3 “Cull en" grandsons plus 3
“Roy” grandsons but in 2010, Granma do esn’t; just
her 3 “Roy” grandsons.
