My great grandparents Mary Jean MacKay Gillies ( from Garrabost) and Angus Gillies (from Stornoway) were from the Isle of Lewis... My grandmother was born in 47 N Shawbost in Lewis. I am searching for any relatives to provide me with family photos of the Gilies, MacKay,Montgomery  families from the Isle of Lewis. Attached is my family tree and my great grandmothers obit from the Storonoway Gazette in 1974

Meath / Kells Family in Kells County Meath
« on: Thursday 30 August 12 23:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi, my great grandfather came from Kells county Meath and his last name was Kells. The name was not changed when he came over to Canada it  was and remains Kells. Since,Kells is the name of the town my ancestors must have had some connection to the founding of the town or at least have been highly prominent members in the town I figure. Can anyone give me any incite to this last name in the town from historical records or knowledge? Your help is most appreciated!

PS: I tried contacting the heritage center of the town but I found out it was closed down.
