Hello
I am looking for some help regarding the Gilpin family. Quick overview - My great great grandmother was Eliza Jane Gilpin (married Spotten), her father was Robert Henry Gilpin and mother, Isabella Wilson. They had a son William (Willie) married Magee and another daughter Isabella Margaret (Rita) married Morrison - I have found both Eliza and Isabella's birth certs, with no luck on Williams. I have the marriage cert for Robert and Isabella which happened in Carrigallen Parish in 1897, Roberts address given was Parish of Kildallan, father William Gilpin. I have then found the 1901 and 1911 census of the family living in Diamond, Cavan, before moving back to Leitrim at some stage where I found the death of Robert in Drummercross, Killegar, 1936 with son William present. My grandmother has informed me of her knowledge and I have used this to get what I have so far but I am not getting much further and would be very grateful for any help. Ideally I am looking for any information further back the line such as Roberts birthplace (from records I have he was born about 1862), who his mother was etc. I have tried to look but I am getting very scattered information, any little thing at all would be greatly appreciated as it might help piece things together!
