Hi Mintymoo,
Just stumbled on this wonderful website..the Gill family you mention are not the family that Mac10 is looking for.Lizzie,as she was called was the mother,daughters Maria and Phemie...were the ones who left their families.Willis lived down south and I think the boy's also  lived in England.
Yoy also mentined the Cuthbertsons ...Joe was the Janitor for St Marys school for years,another brother married later in life to Mary McGlinchey,they had kids Sadie Mary Albert Gerrard ....that I remember.
Hope this helps.

Hi Myyran, the Joe Cuthbertson you mentioned was my grandfather, and Mary McGlinchey was his third wife.  My father was the son of his first wife, Mary Mochan.  After Mary died he married Annie O'Kane, and then Mary McGlinchey.  He was abt. 66 when he married her. Altogether he had a grand total of 17 children, 8 -1st marriage, 3- 2nd, 6 -3rd. It was his son Joe (my dad's full brother) who was the janitor at the school, not Joe snr.

Hi Myyran,
I don't understand your reply - inserted quotation from previous posting ?

I was just going through my files and noticed that I have the Baptism details of Ann Mealyea 1908, d/o Henry Parker Mealyea.
Is this any connection to your Mealyeas?

I tried following these posts, but got lost, so I am not sure who I should be asking, but I am interested in the Elizabeth McQuade connection - do you have any further details on her - any parents.  That is my name, and my McQuade appeared to be the only ones in Dumbarton around that time so I would be interested to hear more.

Bankie, I have the St. Mary's Chapel 1908 Baptism record of Annie McCall if you'd like it.
