1.8.1999 I am
interested in the Scottish roots of my forebear NEIL GILLIES who arrived in Australia on
board the immigrant ship "Saint George" , 15 November, 1838, with his wife AGNES
and child, DOUGALD ( 1 year and 8 months
old at the time). NEIL GILLIES, born Kildalton 15 August, 1804, was the son of
ALEXANDER GILLIES and his wife MARY (nee CAMERON). According to the shipping list,
NEIL was a gardener of Kildalton and married AGNES McDOUGAL in 1835. She was the
daughter of DOUGALD McDOUGAL, (reputed to be a footman to the Laird of Jura) and his wife
MARGARET (nee McISACK)
NEIL GILLIES and AGNES had 8 other children born in Australia. Neil died at
Gresford, N.S.W., Australia in 1867 and AGNES in 1892. Any information on families
GILLIES, CAMERON, McDOUGAL and McISACK would be greatly
appreciated. I am only too pleased to pass on information re the Australian
connection. Contact Noel Collison
