Searching for info on Charles & Jessie(Janet) Lilly Given

Post by lillytwin » Tue Jun 15, 2010 2:36 pm

I am hoping to find some info on Charles and Jessie(Janet) Lilly Given. Jessie Lilly Given is my grandfather's oldest sister. My family knows very little about her and her family. Jessie was my grandfather's oldest sister, they were the children of William & Mary McBride Lilly. Jessie was born on 26 Feb. 1870, on 31 Oct. she married Charles Given in Rutherglen. In the early 1900's my grandfather along with his parents, William & Mary McBride Lilly and most of his siblings came to the United States. The two siblings that did not come were Jessie & Charles Givens and their family and William & Jane Watson Lilly and their family. Jessie and William were two of the oldest children and were married with families of their own. I never even knew of them until I started researching the family. I have been able to find some living relatives of William & Jane Watson Lilly now I am hoping to find some living relatives of Jessie & Charles Given. It has been great to find and correspond with relatives in Scotland.

I do know that Jessie and Charles Given had children, their names are as follows:
Kevin Given born about 1890
Annie Given born about 1893 in Mossend
Mary Given born about 1895 in Mossend
Isabella Given born about 1898 in Mossend
Richard Given born about 1901 in Bellshill
Francis Given born about 1903

The only other info I have is that Jessie Lilly Given passed away at the age of 92, in Stirling in 1962. If anyone has info it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Lillytwin

Hi Lillytwin,

Have you seen the public member trees on Ancestry? There are at least eight of them which have your Charles and Jessie as well as other family members. Two of the trees that I checked had pictures of William and Mary McBride Lilly.
