Hello, hoping someone can help! I have hit a dead end in my researching. I am trying to find an Archibald Gillies. All the info I have on him is that he was a witness at the wedding of Elizabeth Smith and Andrew Clark in 1865 in Kirkintilloch.
I suspect he is a cousin or other relation to Elizabeth as her grandmother was Hellen Gillies. (c.1800)
Thank you

Helen GILLIES was born on 5 Oct 1799 in Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire, Scotland to John & Jane.
