My Grandmother was Hannah Guiler/Guyler, born 1890 in Limavady from 3 generations of Alexander Guilers back to 1790s.There were three Guiler families in this area in the Protestant Landholders Records of 1740. Oral history, confirmed by American and Canadian branches, is that they were of French origin. There was a contingent of French soldiers who overwintered on the lands of the Quakers of Loughgall, Armagh in 1689 that culminated in the Battle of the Boyne. It is recorded in the Blackburn family history that it caused many sufferings to the Quakers there. As I have both Blackburn and Guiler in my family tree I have wondered if they are connected.

The Blackburne family owned Hale Hall -they were that rich they didn'seal the roof with lead  - they used Silver  located between Liverpool and Widnes - the parish church is St Mary - check their records to see if there are any Guyler there - 27 records for Blackburne  - https://www.lan-opc.org.uk/cgi-bin/mkindx.cgi?parish=Widnes&type=District&community=Hale

The Blackburns I am interested in lived as missionaries, hoping to bring the local Irish to their faith. Little headway was made and the families made their way to Pennsylvania to the much more successful New Garden of Chester meeting houses. They did have the friendship of William Penn, so it is possible that they had wealthy relatives. The Antrim meetings were held at Ballynacree and sometimes at Toberhead at the McCool family home. Anyway, this is getting off-topic, via DNA I believe the Quaker families of Lightfoot, Holmes, Blackburn and McKee are connected somewhere to the Guilers.
