Hello Catherine,
Thank you so much for the information on my Grandparent John Gilliland and his siblings. I never thought I would hear anything let alone this soon.
I am sure all you had printed was my relatives and i am so grateful. It has been a long time not knowing names from John Gilliland's side of the family. My Father was Thomas Gilliland born 1880 in Barrow-in-Furness.
A huge thank you from Helen
