You're welcome and I hope you do manage to connect the dots.

There were a lot of Gill entries so I only transcribed that one of the several I looked at.   It would take too long to transcribe them all (and mostly they didn't 'seem' to be yours) but if you can narrow down with christian names, periods and places I can provide the details of those too.
regards
Deborah

Hi Deborah, I am grateful for your offer, the obvious ones would be Thomas and Grace along with their children Frances, John, and Isaac. As you know, I beleive Isaac moved down to the Furness area where he raised his family. His local church records start in the middle 1660s and there are no entries for a baptism or marriage for him in it. I read a book which details his difficulty in buying a farm at Torver in 1729, and as he already had a farm at Broughton the locals demanded proof of his settlement, this was over-ruled though, what a pity, it would have proved where he was born. If proof that Isaac was the son of Thomas and Grace, I could then trace back to the 1500s. Any Gill marrying a Banks would obviously change the situation. Regards, Jim.
