Hi Caroline
Maybe you can solve a mystery for me I have an Andrew Gall born abt. 1825 and must have been in  Gilkencleugh, Crawfordjohn but I can not find him in any Census he had a relationship with Elizabeth (Betty) Milligan and had a son Andrew Gall born abt..1853 in Crawfordjohn. I do not think that they married .

In the 1861 Census Andrew Gall is aged 8 and Betty Milligan is listed as his mother living at Gilkencleugh Old House, Gilkencleugh, Crawfordjohn.

I wondered if you had any references to Andrew Gall born abt. 1825 in your information.

Thanks Ian

right ian,

Gall seems to be a popular name,  there's no Andrew Gall or Betty Milligan, BUT

There's a George Gall and margaret Milligan 

They have a few kids;
NAME: George Gall
ABODE: Crawfordjohn Miln
DIED: 4 SEP 1819
AGE: 19

NAME: John Gall
ABODE: Crawfordjohn Miln
DEID: 28 OCT 1819
AGE 19

NAME: Jane
ABODE: Crawfordjohn Miln
DIED: 11 dec 1819
AGE: 11
These are all kids of Margaret Milligan and George Gall.

Let me know some more of the galls husbands or wives and i'll see what else matches

Hi Caroline

The Mystery deepens as my Andrew Gall who's father I'm looking for is
Andrew Gall born 6 Aug 1852 in Crawfordjohn I have all the information on him apart from his father.

Andrews mother Betty Milligan was certainly busy:
Betty was born illeg to Agnes Milligan nee Hunter (had a clandestine marriage).
Betty had 2 other children from 2 different relationships
   Agnes  Braidwood b.26th Mar 1843 [father = William Braidwood of Chesterton]
                Janet Thompson b.26 June 1847 [ father = William Thomson]

I found Betty Milligan on the 1861 Census for Gilkerscleugh, Crawfordjohn with her son Andrew Gall, also living with her was Agnes Braidwood. I Also found her under the name of Elizabeth Hunter on the 1851 Census for Gilkerscleugh where she was living with her mother Agnes Milligan bc.1775 in Douglas. Lanarkshire who was listed as the head of the house. The confirmation for this is that Agnes Braidwood was listed as granddaughter on this Census.

The Problem is finding which Gall was the father of Andrew?

Hi Caroline

Just had some good luck and information with another posting on this website. http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,273959.0.html and now we have William Gall bc 1781 Crawfordjohn and still living in the 1851 Census aged 70 and his wife Agnes Dodds bc1793 Douglas Lanarkshire much younger than him. so narrowed the search and Andrew immigrated and died in Canada

Hi Caroline

Thank you for your kind offer of lookups. Could see if you have a William MILLIGAN (adult) who I think died pre 1841 - wife/partner Agnes please. (She died after your cut off date of 1854)

Regards
