Miles, Gillingham Surnames
I’m looking for the parents of Eli MILES.His information, some of mine and much from a professional researcher follows.I’ve been looking for his parents for 25 years.His son’s name is John GILLINGHAM Miles.I think there’s a clue on the GILLINGHAM, middle name.Could be the maiden name of Eli Miles’ mother. Any clues, connections or help would be greatly appreciated.Seems it could easily be a Gillingham.
