Moira Gillian/Gillan was born about 1903 according to 1911 census. Daughter of William & Margaret who had been married 17 years. 1st cannot find marriage certificate (william/margaret) or Moira's birth certificate also I haven't found a death certificate for Moira who I know was still single in 1966 due to a watch that was awarded to her from ABC Cinema's for long service. Has anyone had same trouble and if so can you please help me. Other siblings were Thomas (15),Dorothy (14) ,Patsy (12) this is from 1911 census. They all existed in 1911 but not before or after? Help.

I have searching my Price line now for about 3 years.I have hit a brick wall. My GG Grandfather Merriman(Maryman) Price b.27 Jul 1826, PA Married Hannah Gillian, b. 23 Sept 1828, PA. Merriman and Hannah were married 25 Feb 1849 (what state I don't know). They showed up in WV in Marion Co. in 1850. I believe if I can Find Hannah's family I can tell more about Merriman.

Maybe this will help someone else, too! And yes, I have all of the information; spouses, marriages, kids, etc. for all of the above mentioned folks! Give me a holler anytime!

BudFoucher — 2006-03-16 00:00:33Z

Matthew,
I don't know if I can be of any help to you but here is some info on some Gillilands, including mine.
Looks like there are several message boards with varying spelling of this name. I got lost trying to find the first one I posted on. Interesting. Every year around St. Patrick's Day I get Irish fever and since Samuel Gilliland and Martha (Dunwoody) are my only Irish ancestors I start trying to get more data on them. They were born in Ireland abt 1795 and 1823 respectively. They came to the U.S. between 1850 and 1860, I believe. I think they may have come in via Canada and they wound up in Franklin County, Vermont. They are buried there in Sanderson Corners Cemetery, Fairfax. I did find a Samuel Gilliland on the Castle Garden website who, along with, apparently his wife, Jane and several children arrived in NY on 21 Jul 1851 aboard the ship West Point. This Samuel was a weaver. I just offer this info for anyone else who may be looking for a Samuel. He is not my Samuel. I have found my Samuel in several censuses starting with 1860 where he is erroneously listed as Gillin.

Re: William Gillian

auntkathy6 — 2005-08-24 23:20:12Z

I have these people in my ancestry also and would like to have any family information anyone has. My line goes from Esther Gillian and Casper Snook through their son, Johannan W. Snook and Caterin Volbert Kitchens (Ketchum) to their daughter Chastain/Christine Snook who married Jacob Israel Ketchum.
Caterin Volbert Kitchens' parents were Charles Kitchens and opal May williams.
Does anyone know anything about the Kitchens, Williams?
How about Casper Snook's parents, Peter K. Snook and Maria Goss?
Thanks,

Searching for Family

rainychip — 2005-02-08 20:41:04Z

I am trying to continue my family history. I can only go back to my 5thG Grandfather, Killian Creek (Krieg, Grieg, Gerig, etc). I am trying to find his parents so that I can link back to Germany (his father).

The name Killian has been spelled Gillian, Gillien, Gilliam, Gilliom, Guillaume, Guillian, Guillien, Guillion, Guillan, and Guillen, among others. I am trying to find his mother my using his given name as her surname, as that was a common naming technique in the past.

The general conclusion is that Killian's parents MAY have been Rebecca and Jacob (John, Johannes, James). I have found record of a Jacob Krieg who came to Lancaster Co, PA on the Snow Louisa in 1752. I can't prove he's my 6th G Grandfather, however.

I believe that Killian's parents would have been born sometime between the late 1690's and 1730. Killian was born 1750 (either in Lancaster Co, PA or Germany).

If anyone has any information that might link with my search, I would greatly appreciate it. My email is: pretty_purple_polka_dot@yahoo.com

Thanks!

I'm struck by the strange spelling of Streondkembridge, which I haven't been able to find yet in the gazetteers. Are you sure that's the right spelling, or did it come from a hard to read source?

Re: William Gillian/Sarah Wrigley

I'm replying two years after the date of this message. My family tree research has also wound its way back to this couple. One of my GG-grandmothers was an Ellen Gillian born in Oldham in 1824, whose marriage in 1842 was witnessed by a Sarah Gillian. This couple were the only possible candidates for her parents listed in Oldham, although their marriage date in 1801 seems a bit on the early side. At any rate, I have some Trade Directory Information for this period that relates to a William Gillian in Oldham. Get in touch if you'd like to have it - John

Hello there,
My grandmother was a Gillen. Her grandfather was John Gillian who married Eliza Donnelly in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1854. I think that is Country Antrim, need to check.
After John served in the Civil War in the United States, his name somehow got changed to Gillen. His son's name was William John Gillen, who lived in Charlestown, MA. I suspect William John's grandfather was a William, too, but I'm still working on that.
Does any of this connect?
