Good morning. I was wondering whether someone could check out a story for me regarding one of my ancestors Mary Gillard, maiden name Upton. She born 1780 woodgreen tottenham. She lived to the long age of 108. According to a newspaper article. It is believed she was one of 4 children 2 of those brothers drowned off newfoundland? Not sure whether that is in Yeovil. I don't have a date but I would love to try and find out more around this story if possible. Can anyone lend a hand?

Was Gillard her maiden name or her married name?
If you are looking for info about her male siblings you need to give her maiden name

I would suggest that you look at the British newspaper archive for references to her, she is mentioned because of her age. I can see references to when she turned 100 also 107 and they are easily found
