Looking for any information on the family of William Killoh or Killah of Gamrie.
William was born around 1839 and married Elizabeth Ingram in 1865.
I only know of one son James b 22 June 1868 at Fernibrae, Gamrie, he was my GGGrandfather. On his death certificate his job was down as a crofter and post runner.
He married Jane Young in Macduff and they had 4 daughters and a son.
If anyone has any connection or can help, please get in touch.
Many thanks,
Macduff

My wife Jean has in her tree James Killah b 1798 marr Elizabeth Massey who had a daughter Margaret b 1842 in Gamrie who is probably a sibling of your William b 1839?
We have been told that the parents of James Killah 1798 are William Killah and Isabel Rankin.
