Dear List members,
I am searching for information on Anna Elizabeth MILLER MILLARD who was born in 1889 in
West Orange (Essex Co.),NJ. She was married to Frank WEST MILLARD who was born 1880 in
Kansas.
Anna is the daughter of Elizabeth SHAW GILLIS born 1864 in Astoria, NY (Queens Co.) and
Edwin William Hamilton MILLER born 1862 in England.
We believe that Elizabeth is the sister of my husband's grandfather William GILLIS
born 1862 in Astoria. Their parents are William GILLIS born 1812 in Ireland or Scotland
and Anna STOREY of Ireland. There is a gap in the generations due to the fact that my
father-in-law married late in life. This Elizabeth would be my husband's great aunt.
I found her information on
ancestry.com and in the Mormon Library files. The owner of the
tree-Shawna Millard of Federal Way, Washington no longer has the same snail mail or
e-mail address.
We have the info on the other sibs of William and Elizabeth as they all stayed local in
Astoria or Spring Valley, NY. Other surnames in the family are BENNETT, COOK, BAISLEY,
HEMPSTEAD, HOWELL, CRAIG, MATTHEWS and possibly KERR, WILLIAMSON, and DUNBAR.
Also, the family files I found states that she had a pen name NAN GRANT. Would anyone have
any information on this?
If anyone has info on Anna E. Miller or Shawna Millard, I would appreciate it if you would
contact me.
Thank you.
