Gourley had one brother and three sisters. His brother, William, was a captain in one of his father's boats as a young man, but he later left the North and died at Bournemouth. Of Gourley's sisters, one died unmarried and another married Joseph Lumsden, a Sunderland chain and anchormaker. After her death, Lumsden took her sister for his second wife. Gourley himself remained a bachelor until his death on 15 April 1902.

“Sin their conception, their birth weeping,
Their life a general mist of error,
Their death a hideous storm of terror.”
