Gillies Family Geelong Terang Noorat...

Good find Raylen - it was obvious that they weren't married in Australia by and I wouldn't be at all surprised that Malcolm  was not born here either - even though it was stated he was born at Stoney Creek on his marriage cert.

Good find Sue and I am sure you are correct - Donald not Ronald.

Will have another look at the shipping records.

Cheers

Hi,
Victorian immigration passenger listings do show a couple of Donald Gillies pairings that look like father and son. Arriving 1850's.  might give 2 generations of  births with Donald Gillies as father.

Sorry cando 

I repeated some information you already had posted.

Sue I think that this group of GILLIES on the MILTIADES could  include  Donald and Catherine.  The death cert showed Donald's father to be Roderick.


GILLIES   Angus   10   OCT 1852   MILTIADES   7   26
GILLIES   Catherine   48   OCT 1852   MILTIADES   7   26
GILLIES   Catherine   14   OCT 1852   MILTIADES   7   32
GILLIES Catherine   23   OCT 1852   MILTIADES   7   26
GILLIES Donald   23   OCT 1852   MILTIADES   7   26
GILLIES   Donald   12   OCT 1852   MILTIADES   7   26
GILLIES John   1   OCT1852   MILTIADES   7   26
GILLIES   Murdoch   18   OCT 1852   MILTIADES   7   31
GILLIES   Roderick 52   OCT1852   MILTIADES   7   26

I know the ages aren't spot on but that's shipping records   Catherine aged 23 is right.

I think this is probably getting very confusing for shazo4 as she has mentioned this is her first venture into family history - perhaps a summary may help her.  Some of the bdm information has been duplicated.

Thankyou so much for all your efforts!

Your right Cando...... Im confused 

But thats ok, I'll sit down later on & go through all this & try to piece it together its certainly got me very interested

I just need to make sure Ive got the right Gillies & dont add the wrong family into my tree 

Thanks again to you all

For those who are interested in this thread - spent a bit of time on this family and with shaz04 and a couple of death certs, it has now been established that the shipping records above are that of the correct family.  There has been a mistranscription of Roderick's wife's name - should be Christina and the age of Donald is incorrect. 

I would imagine that shaz04 will probably be back asking for more lookups as she builds her family tree

Cheers
