BMDRegisters has the baptism but it is a pay to view site.  You can see from the free search results that there were christenings for 2 further Gilligan children in 1818 both with a parent listed.  This may mean that there would be no additional information for Ann's entry.

Colin Penney's site has some noncomformist records but rootsweb pages are down at the moment

Not exactly  "Navy Officer" James William claimed in 1859 but as he was marrying UP had always assumed he may have been stretching the truth. Thank you.
