Hi Caroline
The Mystery deepens as my Andrew Gall who's father I'm looking for is
Andrew Gall born 6 Aug 1852 in Crawfordjohn I have all the information on him apart from his father.
Andrews mother Betty Milligan was certainly busy:
Betty was born illeg to Agnes Milligan nee Hunter (had a clandestine marriage).
Betty had 2 other children from 2 different relationships
Agnes Braidwood b.26th Mar 1843 [father = William Braidwood of Chesterton]
Janet Thompson b.26 June 1847 [ father = William Thomson]
I found Betty Milligan on the 1861 Census for Gilkerscleugh, Crawfordjohn with her son Andrew Gall, also living with her was Agnes Braidwood. I Also found her under the name of Elizabeth Hunter on the 1851 Census for Gilkerscleugh where she was living with her mother Agnes Milligan bc.1775 in Douglas. Lanarkshire who was listed as the head of the house. The confirmation for this is that Agnes Braidwood was listed as granddaughter on this Census.
The Problem is finding which Gall was the father of Andrew?
