Notes
Note
Alexander Gillis, age 24, son of John and Margaret, married Annie Ellis, age 22, in 1874 in Massachusetts. From records, it looks like Alexander and Annie then travelled back to Canada, to Nova Scotia where her parents were living. By 1885, they had returned to the United States. There were three unnamed children in New Jersey births for the couple: a son, born 8 Apr 1888 [George]; a daughter on 10 Feb 1890 [Helen], when Alexander was 40 and Annie was 38. Also a son, born 22 Aug 1893 [William].
