I read your query in the Stormont, Glengarry & Dundas Genealogy Society Roots, and may have a clue for you. My great-great grandmother was Christina (Christie) Gilchrist, who married John McNaughton in 1834. The entire entry in the "Ontario Marriage Bonds" reads: "McNAUGHTON, John, of Kenyon, & Christie Gilchrist, of Roxborough, b: James McNaughton, of Kenyon, and Hugh Gilchrist, of Roxborough. 11 October 1834 at Cornwall. [4251]". I'm not sure what the "b" stands for. Hugh may be William's brother; the dates are right. Let me know what you find. The internet is a marvelous resource. Bonnie McNaughton Wheaton
I am so delighted to see this page! I would like to add my Gilchrist information, if I may. It all begins with Thomas Gilchrist, who married Elizabeth Fagan in New York City in the early 1850's. They came from parts yet unknown in Ireland. They had the following children: Thomas (my branch), Patrick, Eugene and Mary. Eugene married Kate Madden, possibly from Kansas City Missouri, and they had a daughter, Mary, christened there (1889). I don't know if they stayed or continued west, yet. Mary married a Michael Gorman, who was born in Cuba, but whose parents were Irish born. They had at least one child, a daughter named Mary. Patrick is an enigma, but family lore says Patrick, Eugene and their father went west after Elizabeth Fagan Gilchrist's death in 1883. My family currently resides on Long Island in New York State. I would very much like to trace Patrick, Eugene and Mary's modern descendants, and I'd like to go back further than Thomas and Elizabeth. These were Irish Catholics and the men were coopersmiths by trade. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Monica Gilchrist Bennett
Hi. My name is Sean Gilchrist and i am 22 yrs old. born in Providence and raised in Narragansett, Rhode Island. My father is Ronald born Novermber 29, 1949 in Providence. My grandfather, Eugene Jr. was born on June 30th 1927 in Providence, RI. I am not sure where Eugene Jr.'s father was born or what date but i am going to find out in the next few days. I was told that Eugene Sr.'s father was from Ireland, possibly Co. Claire. but that's just something i heard. i am very interested in finding out where my ancestors are from if possible. so is Gilchrist a scottish name? i always thought it was irish. anyways, thanks
I was born in London, England in 1971 and still live in the area. I have two younger sisters called Stephanie and Paula. I run my own business sky-lite Computing Group. My dad is called Edgar John (although he goes by the names Eddie or Ed) Gilchrist and his father was called David Gilchrist. All I know of my Grandad is that he was born in London and fought in the Second World War. My dad was born in Whitehart Lane, London and has two older sisters, Pamela (Pam) and Kathleen (Kath).
