my gillons are in antrim and sligo in 1801. i have discovered several different spellings - gillan, gillen. But because there are lots of gillons in scotland and the name is french originally I though they might have come over in the 1500s and then went to ireland after the act of union in 1701. If you read the history of scotland- there was a lot of ill feeling because it basically removed all power from the scottish parliament and lots of people emigrated to the us and ireland after that- any thoughts?

showed these photos to my grandfathew William John Connelly who recognised the two Thomson brothers and believes one of them later moved to Aukintoshan av and may have died there. He also recognised the tallest guy second from the right back row as Borland Black, a well known chap who can be seen taking centre stage in the second photo. The guy on the far bottom right is one of the McKinleys who stayed at Hornes land.

He recognises the back court of the cottages that used to line the north side of dumbarton road where the shops at the cammeron house now stand, which would tie in nicely with the Quoiting club explanation. The remains of the quoiting green and clubhouse can still be seen hidden amoungst the trees.

Has anyone heard the legend of the Black diamond club in duntocher ?

It may have been secritive and would have had a Grand Master and pecking order etc. Little is known about this, but older relatives may have heard of some of the violent initiation ceremonys.

Cheers

Don't think I could recognise anyone in this photo but would love to know if my Grandfather, Patrick Kelly, is in it. He was born in Duntocher around 1901, married to Agnes Cassidy about 1932, they had 2 sons and 2 daughters. He later died in 1941.
Any help would be appreciated. My Dad died last year and I would love to know more about my family.

I know of Cassidy's and Kelly's that still stay in the village but will ask My grandfather about your other family members. He should know them, the village was pretty tight before the 50's and 60's

Hugh Gillan was my grandfather.  My father was William Brown Gillan (b.5 May, 1892) and died on 29 Dec.1945.  He is buried in the British Cemetery in Mexico City along side his older brother Hugh.  My father's brother Nicholas remained in Glasgow and later raised Hugh's two sons (who were born in Mexico).  Sister Mary also remained in Glasgow, but another brother (Frank?) was in Coventry at the time of the notorious blitz of that city.  Keep in touch!

Hugh Gillan's marriage certificate indicates that he resided in Renfrew.  His son William was born in Renfrew...so there might not be a direct connection with the Gillans in Duntocher.
