His father was Thomas Gahan (born 1841), a joiner from Montrose, Angus.

His mother was Ann Harris (7 February 1840 - 6 December 1904) from Fordoun, Kincardineshire.[2] Thomas and Ann married on 31 March 1862 in Montrose.

George Wilkie Gahan was born around October - December 1871 in Newcastle on Tyne, while his father was working there. George was the only one of their 6 children not born in Angus.
