[scotty75]

Hi, I'm trying to find a marriage cert for Robert Neil and Lilias kellighan Mulholland also spelt lilias  kellahan mchollum..He is my great great grandfather and   I have found  3 sons Robert, David and John born in 1870 1871 and 1873...But would love to got that little bit further back. Not making any headway in Scotlands P**ple...it is not the most user friendly website -( in my humble opinion!!!) Any scottish records found on ances*try .com or anywhere like that??

Thanks in advance...

Hi

1871 shows surname as Neil but the 1881 for Kilmarnock shows their surname as Neill - are you just trying Neil?  Lilias is spelt with 2 x L in 1881 and only one in 1871

All b Kilmarnock except where shown otherwise

Robert Neill 33 b St Quivox labourer in iron works
Lillias   33
David  11
John   10
Robert   8
Joseph   6
Ellen  3 b Riccarton
George   11 Months
Lillias Callaghan 57 wife's aunt
Kilmarnock ED 29 Page  8 Line 20

1891 for Kilmarnock indexed as Niel.  Back to one L on surname.  Birthplaces as shown in 1881

Robert Neil 42 engine keeper
Lillias  42
John  19
Robert  18
Joseph 16
Ellen  12
James 3 b Kilmarnock
Lillias Callaghan 67 wife's aunt
Kilmarnock ED 2 Page 15 Line 13


1901 census for Kilmarnock    All b Kilmarnock except where shown otherwise

Robert Neil 52 - indexed as 32 b St Quivox.  Locomotive engine driver
Lilly   53
Joseph   26
Helen  22 b Riccarton

Hi 

I think that this might be the marriage:

1868, Kilmarnock (GROS ref 597/68)
Robert Neil and Lilly Kellahin Mahalm

Putting in very little is often the best way with SP

Agreed - I searched and found it by inserting *Neil* Robert and M*h* Lil*. Wildcards work well at SP.

I didn't even put a surname in for Lillias - just Lil    and  I used surname variants for Robert - a new option since the revamping and it works very well with surnames that can be spelled in many different ways.

So my search went

Neil (variants)
Rob

<blank surname>
Lil

Ayrshire 1860- 1871

I was very excited to read your post.  I did research a few years ago because I too am related to this family.  Robert and Lillias Neil of Kilmarnock are my great grandparents. Their son Joseph was my grandfather.  He moved to Swansea in South Wales, where he married my grandmother. My own mother was also given the name Lillias! I would be happy to share any information I have.
