Gillard

Posted by Terry Chapman on 27/8/2018, 4:50 pm

I am member 22830 not living in the UK. I want to be put in touch with anyone researching "Gillard" ancestors as the furthest back I can get to in my maternal family search is a "Ruth Gillard" b. circa 1765 who married a "James Browse" in 1786 in East Portlemouth. I hit a brick wall looking for her birth records and suspect a name change. Is there anyone in FHS that I can correspond with? Regards Terry Chapman at email terrychapman80@hotmail.com

As you are a member have you looked at the members' area of this website. You need to register, once that is done and verified you can search in others interests on both surnames - that will tell you if anyone else has registered an interest in either name. Then search in the Surnames option to see what else is available for both names.

You may find this site useful http://www.our4bears.net/parishes/parishes_intro.htm James BROWSE is shown as baptised in 1763 and his & Ruth's children are all listed.
A nearby parish is Stokenham (about 6 miles away)where a Ruth JELLARD was baptised in 1774, but was born in 1765 http://www.our4bears.net/parishes/Stokenham/Stokenham_bapB.htm - scroll down to the notes at the bottom of the page which are very informative - her parents were Quakers.
