Can anyone help with a Donald Gillies who married a Mary McKenzie & had a son Roderick born 1800 ?



Rodericks death cert says he was born Isle of Skye Invernesshire.

He married a Christian or Christina McKenzie & they came to Australia with their family on the Miltiades ship 1852.



The family were farmers from what we can see, but we are really at a lost end to anything on Donald or Mary.

Where are these two?
