Mother will be amazed. She knew Matilda (Millie) well as she visited Polly in Kenilworth. Apparently she was a superb baker and her shortbread was absolutely splendid!! Anne did marry Tommy-Joe Feeney; I understand that they spent some time living in Australia.
Interesting about Sligo. The Maginniss clan spent their summer holidays there in the 1930s but I do not know whether that was a Gillan or Maginniss connection; perhaps both? When you mention Marie do you mean Maria from Mexico? There is a Gillian thread married to a Les Horn in Argyll but she has not responded.
You have done well to research so far back; many of the Irish records were destroyed after 1922. The McGill connection is interesting. Bridget McGill is my GGGM but on the Maginniss tree. Is Hugh & Mary's house/tenement standing?
