Trying to find out anything about Shillady/Shilady from The area Dumgooland Co Down.
My Grt Grandfather came from there sometime in the mid 1800's (i think)
and settled in Dalry Ayrshire where my Grandfather was born c1885.

Very localised name around Drumgolland, Ballyward area of County Down

I have Shilladays in my tree who also used the surname Sheridan so it would be worth trying this alternative spelling.

Hi

I came upon this thread by chance. It's 10 years too late I know but.....My maternal great grandfather William Davidson was from Drumgooland , His granddaughter Mabel Mawhinney married a Shilliday, and as a child we would often pop in to see the family who lived just outside Rathfriland on the road up to Spelga Dam. I don't have detailed notes to hand but if you're still looking after all this time I might be able to help

Just found my cousin's notes on the Shilliday connection (written this year)

Mabel Mawhinney married Samuel John Shilliday. They had a daughter Joan who married Felix Magin

Mabel was born 31/8/1919 and died 3 Aug 2014 (?) at Rathfriland

If the children are living then they can not be named in posts.
