I think I have traced an ancestor back to Berwickshire County, Scotland (which is on the border with England) and I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who is also interested in the GILLIE name from anywhere in that county.

Specifically, I've gone back to the following marriage: George PAE & Isabel GILLIE, married 29 Aug 1789, Coldingham, Berwick, Scotland. I believe they had the following children (probably among others): Robert, dob unknown; Isabel, b.1791; Elizabeth, b.1797; and Margaret, b.1802.

I'm not 100% sure but I think this is the Isobel GILLIE (found in the online IGI) : Isobel GILLIE, Birth: 20 APR 1770 Eyemouth, Berwick, Scotland, Father: James GILLIE, Mother: Mary Bookless
