Hello Chris,
I'm contacting you as you had stated a while back that you have a large Gillot database.
My ggGrandfather, Thomas Walch married Mary Gillot on May 27, 1847 at the Parish Church, Sheffield, York County, England.Thomas's family had been in Sheffield for sometime and members of the family are still there. Thomas migrated to the US by 1850 as he was listed in the 1850 Peoria, Illinois Census.
We learned from their marriage certificate that her father was William Gillot.
There's no record of Mary after their marriage that we can find.Thomas apparently returned to England as we've found where he came back to the US in 1854 aboard the Northumberland. There were four deaths on that trip across however, no names were given.We've wondered if she may have been with him on that trip and expired en route.
He married Catherine Mendell in May 1856 in Peoria County, Illinois.
Would you have any information on this Gillot family?
Many thanks,
Susan
