Looking through my notes on the GILLERs, my husband's maternal grandfather's line, I have the following problem, and I wonder if anyone can help me solve it. I have three GEORGE GILLERs in Bolton at a similar time. The name is very rare in the Bolton censuses, and I have ancestry and have tried other spellings. One is GEORGE GILLER of Penwortham. Born around 1801 (although he does sometimes lie about his age) he's a bed quilt manufacturer, and is married to MARY (HESKETH?)born 1823. Sometimes they have a son JOHN WILSON with them (born Walton 1843 he's with them in 61 but not 51), but who's son he is I'm not sure. Our direct ancestor is their son WILLIAM born 1856.By 1881 he's a widower (Mary probably died in 1874) and in the Workhouse. I think he died in 1889 aged 88. The other GEORGE GILLER is married to MARY ANN (WOODS?). He was born either in Kirkham around 1822 or in Penwortham (1881 census), she in Wray Green around 1817. He's a painter. They have two daughters- Mary Ann born 1848 and Maria 1853. By 81 he too is widowed and living with his daughters. I think he's the GEORGE GILLER that dies in 1889 aged 68. As a further puzzle there's another GEORGE GILLER who dies in Bolton in 1887 aged 74. I can't find him in the census at all! Is the second GEORGE GILLER the son of the first, possibly from an earlier marriage? Who is the third? Any thoughts on this one much appreciated! Barbara
