Pancho, If you read this, I am looking for the obit for my Grandfather Colonel William Nelson, OBE, TD died June 11, 1937 in Glasgow.  I understand it is archived in the Mitchell Library....exactly where you found Elsie's info.
Thanks.

I am Hugh Gillan's grandson.  My father was Willie (b.1892) (d.1945 Mexico City).  Willie had a brother living in Coventry and bombed out during the war. oldest son, Hugh, also buried in British Cemetery in Mexico City.  Nicholas remained in Scotland and raised Hugh's two sons.  Sister Mary (?) remained in Scotland also.  I recall my father's enthusiasm for football and Celtic.  Keep in touch.

Hi David,

I'm also a relative. My mother was your cousin Kathleen Gillan, daughter of Frank Gillan.  My cousin Norman is also interested in our family history.  Do you have any family photos or family stories to share? 


Best Wishes
Fiona

Delighted to have dipped into your posts.  Hugh Gillan (d 1922) of Yoker is my Great-Grandfather through his daughter Mary (Polly) Gillan (one of John's Sisters and b 1885) who married Daniel Joseph Maginniss in Yoker in 1912. Fascinated to learn that John resided in Coventry and married a local girl, neither of which I knew.  I assume Mary Gillan knew but perhaps not, although she lived in Coventry/Kenilworth 1916-1974, passing away in 1974, having had five children.  Delighted to share this aspect of the Gillan story if you wish.

Really interested too as Hugh Gillan is also my Great-Grandfather.  I know Johanna Browne came from Dublin, but does anyone know anything /more about the origins of Hugh's father and mother in Ireland (Our G/GGF Peter Gillan, G/GGGF Thomas and G/GGGM McGill?, and G/GGM Anne Keenan ,GGGF Kennan and Burns).  Or what happpened to the children of Peter Gillan's second marriage:  Peter, Euphemia and Mary I think.
