Message Board Post:
Lori,
I saw your message to Rose Mary Thompson about Elizabeth Gilholm who married James S.,
Cameron. She was my great grandfather's sister and born in Sydney, Nova Scotia in
1862. I have been researching the Gilholm family both in Nova Scotia and Massachusetts
where some of the children emigrated to. Are you connected to Joshua Gilholm and
Elizabeth Kirkby, both born in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in about 1821. They had six children
and the last two were born in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia; Joshua and Elizabeth (Cameron).
Anything you can help me with would be appreciated. I woiuld be glad to share anything I
have. There are a bunch of Gilholms in California and they came out of Gault, Ontariuo
and I suspect they are connected to the Cape Breton crowd. Joshua, the younger, and his
wife Christena Patterson had 13 children; my grandmother being one of the older, Margaret.
Granny was born in North Uist, Scotland; in the southern Hebrides.
I am offline at home until next week; I am in Cape Breton using a cousin's sytem. I
would look forward to hearing from you.
