Dates and ages are from their gravestones at the Durham Cemetery in Bentinck Twp, at Grey County, Ontario, Canada along with where born, “Native of Co. Monaghan, Ireland.” Children: James (1830), William (1835), Elizabeth (1836), Sarah (1836, twin to Elizabeth), Mary (1837, Ann (1839), Rebecca (1846), Jane (1851).

Welcome to Rootschat.
It's difficult enough to research Irish families in the early 1800s with details of where they lived (parish if not actual townland) but almost impossible knowing just the county,
Your other post mentioned looking for the family in Scotland- is that where Durham Cemetery is located?
Scottish records are excellent and you might be able to get more information on the family from census and vital records there.

There are several Hillis families in North Monaghan - thge family you refer to are listed at Legnacreeve / Braddox Presbyterian Church Records. Initially William Hillis & Mary Boyd lived at Aghnasedagh, which is very near Monaghan Town, but they attended Legnacreeve Church. Other Hillis families also listed at the same Church are James & Beth Hillis of Lisaginny, Clontibret, & Robert & Mary Hllis of Roghan, Derrynoose. These Records are now on CD (approved by the Church) & are available. You mayt wish to contact me directly at (*) & I will assist you.

The Hillis family are clearly recorded in the Church Records - several Hillis descendants have sourced the Church Records & found all their Ancestors listed.

I've to go to Clontibret next week and will keep an eye out for them as there are a few Boyds in this area I need to look for! You will be very lucky to find the marriage details but you never know!
You might be able to help me in return please, there is someone (understatement; probably 10   ) that I need to look for in Ontario, will send private message when I get back from Monaghan.
