Hi, My family name is Gillis. I know they had linen mills in Armagh along the callan river . I am seeing references to them as the Gillis mills built by John Gass in 1836. I've googled my little heart out. Any ideas why Mr. gass built them but they were called Gillis.
I'm also planning a trip to this area in spring of 2019. I'm planning on going to that area and to st. salvator church where some of these folks were buried. I understand the PRONI in belfast is a must and i plan on going to the lisbon linen mill museum in libson.
Any other ideas?
Sidnie
