Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Gemmell, John James, ca. 1835-ca. 1891 : John James Gemmell, was an Ottawa lawyer who was born in Scotland, ca. 1835. He is listed in the Ottawa city directory of 1863 as a law student boarding with Robert Lees, a lawyer whose partner he seems to have become in the following year, 1864. The partnership appears to have lasted until Gemmell's death, probably in 1891. He was survived by his wife Harriet. At the time of the Ottawa census in 1881, he had four children, Henry, Robert, Lilly and Annie, between the ages of 14 and 5.
