Gillan and Graham
« on: Wednesday 28 February 07 19:57 GMT (UK) »
I wondered if anyone could help me knock down my brick wall.
Alexander Gillan married Martha Graham 3 June 1793 at St Bees
Someone kindly sent me a document a while ago with reference to Alexander Gillan which stated he came to Whitehaven from County Antrim and that is as much as I know about him.
His son Robert Gilling married Martha Atkinson at Holy Trinity Whitehaven 22 January 1829 then moved to County Durham in early 1840s but tended to go back to Whitehaven from time to time.
If anyone can find any information on Alexander Gillan or Martha Graham & Martha I would be very grateful
Thanks

Thank you for your reply Mary
I have little information on my Cumberland families. I just know that Alexander Gillan/Gilling married Martha Graham.
I am also looking for Martha Atkinson born 1800 at Whitehaven who married their son Robert.
I think her parents maybe George Atkinson and Eleanor Glaister but I have no proof
If you come acroos any of these in you research I would be grateful for any information
once again thanks
Regards
John
