  • Notes 
    • Elizabeth Ridley was born about 1808 and died 14 May 1864.
      On July 5, 1826 she married Andrew Gillis , St. Salvator's
      Church of Ireland, Donagh Parish. They had five sons and 2
      daughters. They lived on the Donagh Parish-based farmstead
      on which a descendent of Robert Gillis was living on when
      Benjamin Cole Gillis visited Ireland in 1910.

      Elizabeth's maiden last name was Ridley not Riddle as was
      previously thought, per the St. Salvator's Church registry
      baptismal records of the children of Andrew and Elizabeth
      (Ridley) Gillis (Andrew, son of Robert Gillis, brother of
      William John Gillis).

      In Elizabeth's death record, 14 May 1864, St. Salvator's
      Church Register,Glasslough Parish, Donagh Cty, Monoghan
      2006 professional research also showed the same church's burial
      records cite Elizabeth's death age 56, "born around 1808,"
      therefore thought to be Andrew's wife.

      This is the only verifiable marriage of the Gillis sons including
      William/Andrew/Robert in the church registers, acc. to 2006
      research in Belfast. Marriage on 05 Jul 1826, St. Salvator's
      Church of Ireland, Donagh Parish. Witnesses per church
      records: William Watters, William Scott, John Riddle (Ridley).
