This Alexander Gollan is in my tree. He is quoted as marrying Beatrice Jessie Maud Hill in 1891. There is a marriage in govt records for this union. However a daughter of Beatrice named Agnes Annie was registered as surname Gollan, father not registered, which is curious. However that is how I am connected to the tree, as Annie married into my Young family of the Westport, New Zealand area. Alexander and Beatrice do not appear to have had any more children. So I guess that's your answer, they are the same Alexander Gollan.


With the help of you Rootschat people I have now verified all the data I had previously, given verbally by a Gollan descendant.  I also have thanks to you all a lot of good provenance for the records.

4.  Was it the same Alexander Gollan (father William mother Euphemia (Gunn) Gollan) who married Beatrice Jessie Maud Hill in 1891?
