Monaghan / Gilliland Conly Ballybay
« on: Thursday 24 January 08 23:34 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to trace my ggg grandparents who I believe came from Ballybay in Co Monaghan...
My G Grandfather Robert John Gilliland and his wife Maggie Conly eloped to Glasgow in 1898 to marry and settle in Glasgow. Robert's Father was George Earnest Gilliland who married Jane Turbitt around 1874.
Maggie's parents were James Conly and Eliza Cook.
George Earnest's parents I think were John Gilliland and Margaret Maxwell. I do not know too much except that they may have moved over to Ireland from Scotland as Plantation settlers?
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Also my GG Grandfather on my paternal side of my family, James Casey 1831, came from Co Monaghan his parents were Patrick Casey c1805 who married an Agnes Boyle c1805.
Can anyone tell me how to start a search for them?
