Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / GILLIES - Glamorgan Wales
« on: Saturday 28 June 08 21:26 BST (UK) »
My grandfather Andrew Hay GILLIES b. 1902 in Glamorgan Wales. He was the youngest of about 11 children born to John GILLIES b. 1860 Scotland d. Abt 1939 Glamorgan and Jessie NIMMO b. 1861 Scotland d. Abt 1926 Glamorgan.
Andrew Hay GILLIES moved to Canada abt 1920 and died in the USA in 1969. Andrew had an only child (son) who is still alive. I am also an only son with several sisters, children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Andrew's siblings where Helen 1883- (Sct), Margaret 1884- (Sct), Alexander 1886- (Sct), John 1888- (Ire.), Claud 1891-1892 (Glam.), Jessie 1893- (Glam.), Charles 1895- (Glam.), Agnes 1896- (Glam.), Wm. 1898-1898 (Glam.), Annie 1900- (Glam.).
Alexander and Agnes moved to Canada and John (1888) possibly USA. Alexander married Minnie and had two daughters Doris and Jean. Agnes married Dudley SNAPE and they had two or three children. Jessie (1893) married Carl FEX in 1917 in Wales. I believe Charles may have lost a leg in the war.
Any info on the above families coming forward would be neat. I have the tree back to the 1700's then I’m stalled. John GILLIES b. 1860 (Sct) to Alexander GILLIES and Margaret CASSELLS. Alexander GILLIES b. 1830 (Sct) to John GILLIES and Ann SCOTT. John GILLIES b. 1803 (Sct) to John GILLIES and Jean WYLLIE. I have all their siblings also.
Any related GILLIES still in Wales, Scotland, Canada, USA, or elsewhere i would love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Jack GILLIES USA
