Hi
Yes I'm descended from Charles son of Charles. My branch settled in the North East before my parents arrived in Warrington via Saddleworth where I was born.
When my grandpa John died in 1962, he had two daughters and so the Gilchrist name was looking to disappear from this branch. However my parents gave me the middle name Gilchrist to preserve the name for one more generation & when my daughter was born in 2009 we have her the same middle name to continue the name. If she has children & decides Todo the same that is up to her, but I hope she does! She didn't meet either of my parents as my mum died in 2005 but she loves reading the book.
It really is a terrific achievement on Bruce's part & I was pleased I could give him an update before he died

Hi. I thought it was a complete copy of the original book but it turns out to be an addendum update for the descendants of William Gilchrist born 1869 (my great grandfather & Bruce's Uncle Will).
I have a copy of the book & am happy to copy relevant pages for you if you don't have it?

Hi Lizzie.
I know this is an old chat but I'm also descended from Charles Gilchrist. I have an electronic version of the family tree book if you're still interested I can arrange to send you a copy.
