Looking for John Milligan IN Scotland
John Milligan born in Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland in 1827
In 1861 he lived in Dawell Brae, Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland his wife and children and was running a grocer shop.
By 1871 and till after 1881 he was living in Duddingston Midlothian Scotland and was a spitit merchant.
He married Hannah but may have another wife before Hannah called Margaret but I am not sure
Hannah maiden name unknown was born about 1828 in Kirkcaldy, Fifeshire, Scotland
John appears to have died between 1881 and 1891, although this has not been confirmed as the Scotish census does not give the maritial status of the people listed in the house hold, however John was not present and his wife was living with her daughter Margaret's family.

Hi I am also researching the Milligan name but have found that my grandfather changed his surname from Mulligan to Milligan. My great great grandparents were William Mulligan and Elizabeth Nicholson their son John changed his surname to Milligan.
Fee
It's interesting isn't how the spelling of surnames changed over time. Unfortunately I don't yet have any William Mulligan on my tree. Qhere abouts did they come from?
