Hi, looking for any possible information on Martin Gillen Born 1845 Ireland but no idea where in Ireland, his death in Leeds 1917. There are a number of siblings.
As far as I am aware his parents were James Gillan Born 1817 Ireland Mary Murphy Born 1820 Ireland.
Martin Gillen married Eliza Jane Briggs born 1845 of Methley Marr 7/4/1863 Leeds.
and possibly a Mary Holmes Born 1850-Marr 1883 Leicestershire and finally my Great Grandmother Martha Ann Schofield Leeds. Marr 1891 Widow and Widower.
The name Gillen appears as Gillen/Gillan on certificates. The names Dunwell and Pinkney are linked with this name.
Here's hoping.

There are 2 family trees on Ancestry UK : Smith/Briggs/White & Cook family tree with a little bit of information on Martin. Birthplace Ireland but no area, I would suggest it is probably Count Mayo
You could contact them & maybe learn a little more & exchange information..
