Hi

I replied to Mary more od lees the same answer. I am researching the Gwilliam family from Pembrokeshire at the moment. I am back to about 1800. I have some details about the John you seem to speak of and in particular the Richard. If you want any more details email me at ginge199@hotmail.com

Hi Lee, I see you are researching the above and wondered if you could help me.

My great grandmother's maiden name was Gullam and in the 1881 UK Census for Liverpool (RG11/36/6) her birthplace is recorded as "Milford, Wales" and her age as 39.

In the last quarter of 1864 she married in Liverpool a Thomas Whittow (then a common surname it seems in Pembrokeshire) who worked as a tailor (at least that was his occupation when his third child, William Whittow, was born in Liverpool (as were his sister and brother) on 3rd August1868. I'm awaiting a copy of Martha and Thomas Whittow's marriage certificate which may cast light on their ages & parents' names.

By 1871 Martha Whittow (nee Gullam) was a widow, still living in Liverpool and there she and her children remained.

How she and her future husband landed up in Merseyside is a mystery although family legend is that Thomas Whittow(or may be a brother) ran away from home after being sent to Llanthony Abbey in the Black Mountains. I think the Whittow family was very strict Nonconformist. If the tale is not true it should be!

Any information/suggestions will be appreciated. Cheers.

I posted a reply to this originally but left the wrong email address. I have found some more info. The Richard Gullam you speak off married a Mary Morse who are the ancestors of my wife. His parents were John Gullam and Phebe Williams. I beleive i have their parents as well, but need to confirm this as I have a wedding for harles Gullam and Margaret Sayse in St Ishmaels in 1774

I dont remember if I responded to this email. Richard Gullam and Mary Morse were my GG Grandparents.
Their son John (Mc) Gullam m. Bridget Coyle
Son James Edward m. Agnes Lynch
Son James Edward m. Mary Crowe
Daughter Mary Agnes - Me
The Mc remains
