Rose, Catherine, Mary Gillen/Gillan

[Zebrakat]

I am trying to establish if the above ladies are sisters of Laurance/Lawrence Gillen. If so I can continue the family tree in Donegal.

Laurence parents were John Gillen and Mary Roonie (Rooney)

The girls were born abt 1813, 1815 and 1819. I think Laurance was born about 1810 ish.

I have managed to trace Laurance in Ayr, Scotland, he died in Auchinleck 1865. He was married to Margaret Glancie (Glancy) both born in Ireland.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Where did you get those three names and dates? and why (other than surname and ages) do you think they could be his sisters or even related?

Was Laurence Catholic? if so the Parish Registers have just come online-

I felt it was easier to start a new thread rather than confusing people. 😄

What previous census records? one(s) which have those 3 women in the same household as Laurence?

No that would be to easy and then my question would be pointless. Lol. I'm just in the middle of something, I will give the reason for my question in about 30 mins.
