I am married to Gordon Traill,the first of his line of Traill's to be born in Australia.
My son James Traill (who has posted messages on here before) is the first James to be born in Australia, as every generation of Traill's has a James. My husband's hail from St. Andrew's in Dundee, Scotland, but date back to the 13th Century where Walter Traill was Archbishop of St. Andrew's where my father-in-law and all his family were born and some still reside today. In the 14th century there were two brothers, James and John Traille (sometimes Traelle). They were both ministers of the Church. James stayed in Scotland, while John took his ministry to England. Thus there are English Traill's and Scottish Traill's. How the Traill's came to America was by a William Traill who was a passenger on the Marlborough, bound for Savannah, Georgia in 1774. Somewhere afterward the second L was dropped. So all Traill's regardless of spelling are related. There are also Traill's in Ireland. In 1765 Dr. James Traill was Bishop of Down and Connor. At present Anthony Traill is a fellow of Trinity College, Dublin. i hope this info helps some of you. I think I have more also stored away somewhere. look forward to hearing some replies
