In the 1851 Coldingham census
John Gillies, 62, Weaver Cot, born Coldingham
Helen Gillies, wife, 54, born Edrom
David Gillies, son, unmarried, 26, Slater, born Coldingham
There are other families around the village. I can send them later if you wish.
There don't seem to be many M.I's Gillies but I can also let you have what there is just to keep in case they link up sometime.
