The Mary Gilchrist you are discussing - she was born 1847 in Bothwell, Lanarkshire to Alexander Gilchrist and Janet Howieson who married 1845 in Airdrie. Mary married George Ness Dec 31st 1874 Auchinleck, Ayrshire - he died 1877. Mary remarried 31st Dec 1880 to David Hill in Auchinleck. Mary was a mill weaver and she died Nov 1915 in Kilmarnock. The 1881 census entry in Kilmarnock shows Mary & David with his 4 children from his first marriage. 1891 census has Mary and David living without children, again in Kilmarnock.
I am related through the Howieson line.
