William Gillis - born c 1806 Ireland. Died 1882 Gowrie Little Plain

• William Gillis may have been born as early as 1806, or as late as 1826 which is correct if he was aged 76 at the time of his death. His age, mostly given by him, on his children's birth certificates however, varies greatly. His place of birth Limerick, IRELAND is fairly certain.
  
• He was the son of William Gillis and Mary Unknown.
• William Gillis came to Australia via Sydney between 1839 and 1847. There is strong evidence that he may have come to Sydney on the ship Guillardon 1839. When he was arrested for horse theft in 1852, William stated he had arrived on the Galander However, a check of the ship's records showed that William was not amongst the convicts on board. The ship arrived from India carrying convicts from the army in India. William may have been a guard, having retired from the Army.
  William's death certificate indicated he had been in the colony 35 years before his death, making his arrival date 1847. One possible date of arrival is 21 Dec 1847. The"Emmerdale 's Health Officer reported that a William Gillum was found concealed on board on arrival in Sydney.
  
• In 1850 William Gillis was appeared in the "Moreton Bay District Directory" living at Callandoon Station, Goondiwindi. He was a saddler and a native of Ireland.
  
• On 18 March 1852 ,a William Gillis was charged with an offence in Brisbane. His details were recorded as :- William Gillis, arrived on the Ship Galander (Guillardon) in 1839, Bond, Freed by Servitude, from Ireland, Roman Catholic, a saddler, from Callandoon Station, for trial. He had been charged with stealing a gelding valued at 10 pound at Callondoon
  Station in the Goondoowindi district in May 1851. He was discharged at court on May 9 1852 having been found not quilty and he "left court without any reproach against his character". William spent from February til May 1852 in prison. COMPILERS NOTE: A check of the records of the Guillardon that arrived in 1839 showed that a William Gillis was not amongst the Court marshalled men from the British army in India that were on their way to either Van Diemans Land and New South Wales. However, research has shown that the Army sometimes offered free passage to men about to retire in exchange for guard duty on the trip to Australia.
  After his discharge from prison he appears to have been working at Wallon station for William Dangar and John Ferrett who had taken over the lease after John Dangar’s death in 1848.
  
• Being close neighbours to the Bridgeman’s at Bogandilla, William would have known of Thomas’ departure after the murder of George Kellel, and of his and non-return. He and the pregnant Jane travelled to Brisbane, perhaps in search of Thomas. Jane’s baby, a daughter named Catherine was born “under a dray” in Brisbane on 14 May 1854. On 2 July 1854, Jane’s three youngest children baby Catherine, Helen/Ellen and Frank were baptized. Perhaps because Jane was afraid their baptism would be refused if the clergy was aware that she was not married to William, they listed the children’s surnames as Gillis and William, a labourer of Brisbane, as the father. Jane and her family returned to Bogandilla Station. On 5 May 1855, “William advised James Bennett, the overseer of Ferrett's head station Walloon that he has seen an aboriginal called Dicky and about 30 other aborigines when he was at another station about seven miles from Bogandilla. Dicky was suspected of being in the group that had killed an earlier occupier of the station, a Mr Kettle. William warned Michael Byrnes and his wife of their danger and ordered the aborigines off the property. Less than 24 hours later both of the Byrnes’ were killed.” A daughter, Alice was born in Dalby in 1856 while William was still overseer at Bogandilla. At some stage the family left the station. William Patrick was born in September 1858 in Seven Mile Creek near Ipswich. William’s occupation was recorded as blacksmith aged 37 years (born 1821), born Limerick. Charles Gillis, a labourer, of Seven Mile Creek was the informant (most likely Charles Eyles who was then 13 years old so the information most likely was not accurate). By August 1861 they had returned to Bogandilla where Jane and William were finally married. Why did they delay their marriage until then? By law, a person could remarry if their spouse had been assumed dead for seven years. Did William and Jane marry wait until the seven years since Thomas left in 1854 had passed?
  
  
• On 13 March 1855 William advised James Bennett, the overseer of Ferrett's head station Walloon that he has seen an aboriginal called Dicky and about 30 other aborigines when he was at another station about seven miles from Bogandilla. Dicky was suspected of being in the group that had killed an earlier occupier of the station, a Mr Kettlel. William warned Michael Byrnes and his wife of their danger and ordered the aborigines off the property. Less than 24 hours later both of the Byrnes were killed.
  
• On 13 December 1860 the Moreton Bay Courier published a list of Unclaimed letters for November- the name of Mrs Gillis of Seven Mile watering Hole was included on the list.
  
• He married Jane Eyles, daughter of Daniel Eyles and Jane Primmer, on 29 August 1861 in Queensland, Australia.The marriage took place at Boggandilla Station where both Jane and William lived, William being an overseer of the station at the time. Witnesses were Charles Eyles (Charles Bridgeman aged 16) and Francis Eyles (Frank Gillies aged 11). Jane and William may have wanted the minister to believe that that Jane was single, and they didn't have several children between them. Hence Charles and Frances Eyles were Jane's brothers for the purpose of the marriage.
  
• On 26 March 1862 William was an overseer at Tchanning at the time of his daughter Agnes' birth. He was shown as 45 years old (born 1817) born Limerick, Ireland. William was the informant at the time of Agnes' birth registration.

• In January 1868 Francis Gillies and William Gillis were involved in a court case regarding a herd of cattle. During the hearing William stated that he had sold his cattle to Francis Eyles Bridgeman and that Bridgeman was his step son. Frank stated that he and his brother (Chalres) and sister (this would be Ellen as Jane jnr was married to Robert Nelder in 1867) lived in a house next to Gillis. Frank was 17 at the time, but gave his age as 14. Ellen would have been 15. Catherine, aged 13 may have been living with Jane and William.
  
• He and Jane Eyles selected land - in the parish of Meringandan on portions 923, 868 and 969 (280 acres in total) at Gowrie Little Plain where they built a house in the north-western corner of portion 923.
  
• On 28 September 1870 The Darling Downs Gazette advised that William had been granted conditional approval for 61 acres of land in Douglas Parish.
  
• William Gillis's children Ellen and Wiliam jnr were taken to court by James Matthias (Graham) Grehan. On on 30 August 1871 The Darling Downs Gazette reported:- " Monday, August 28.
  (Mr W. Beit J.P took his seat on the Bench). Matthew Grehan v W. Gilles jun. - The defendant, a boy from ten to twelve years of age, was charged with illegally selling horses, the property of the complainant. Mr Hamilton for the Defendant. Wm Leath said that on Friday the 18th instant he saw the defendant riding a horse which he believed to be the property of the complainant; could not swear to the brand, and would not undertake to swear to the horse if he saw it again. Case dismissed. Matthew Grehan v Ellen Gilles - The defendant in this case was charged with illegally working the same animal. Mr Hamilton for defendant. Matthew Grehan, said that on Sunday the 20th instant he saw the defendant riding the horse at his father's place at Highfields which belonged to him; never gave permission to use the horse, either on that day or at any other time; the horse was now in the bush, and usually ran about two miles from the defendant's home. Mr Hamilton said that the complainant was bound to produce the horse and to prove that it was his own property; he (Mr Hamilton) would perhaps on the production of the horse be in a position to prove that the horse did not belong to the complainant, or that a question of ownership which was involved would be fatal to the case. The further hearing was then adjourned to Monday next, in order to allow the complainant an opportunity of bringing in the horses."
  
• In December 1871 James Greham served a summons against William Gillis for unpaid labour. The claim for 13s 9p was not defended and no summons was served.
  
• William Gillis's and Jane Eyles's last child Ida was born 15 November 1872 in Meringandan. William was the informant and said he was a 54 year old farmer born Limerick. His living children were listed as Charles 14, Ellen (Helen) 12, Catherine 10, Alice 8, William 6 and Agnes 4. COMPILERS NOTE: The children's ages and names are incorrect. Charles Bridgeman was 27 years old by then, Jane Bridgeman 25 was not mentioned, Francis 22 was not mentioned (may have meant to say Francis instead of Charles), Ellen was 20 not 12, Catherine 18 not 10, Alice 16 not 8, William was 14 not 6 and Agnes 10 not 4 - for some reason William took about 8 years off the ages of the children. Family hearsay has it that Ida may have been the child of one of Jane and Wiliam's daughters.

• The following article appeared in the The Queenslander on 6 November 1875. " A CASE of accidental poisoning occurred, last Saturday, at Gowrie Junction. Oppressed by the heat of the day, a German settler, named Hermann Shultz, retired to his bed, having previously partaken of a hearty dinner. He subsequently drank a quantity of vinegar and water mixed with baking soda, and, to relieve the pain he afterwards experienced, he took a dose from a packet which he believed to contain Glauber salts. The packet from which the dose was obtained was found in a hat left by a countryman in Shultz's possession, and it contained poison —strychnine—for poisoning native dogs. Three grains of the powder given to a dog on Sunday at Toowoomba, terminated the animal's existence in twenty minutes. The quantity taken by deceased in mistake for salts was sufficient to poison fourteen or sixteen persons. At the enquiry, held on Saturday, before the Police Magistrate, Minna Shultz, wife of the deceased, deposed: We have been at Gowrie Junction for six months; yesterday deceased went to work as usual; he came home at dinner time, and partook of a good dinner ; the weather being hot he went to lie down; about three o'clock he was seized with a fit; he said he had a cramp in his stomach; he had three severe fits, and two that were not so bad; he died about half-past four o'clock in the afternoon ; he has not been well for some time past; he was in the thirty-seventh year of his age ; we have been three years in the country; and have three children. Caspar Ulrich deposed : I have been shepherding on Weranga station ; I arrived at Toowoomba about fourteen days since; I met deceased but Wednesday week at Wockner's hotel; I went with him to Benjamin's store to buy material for a pair of trousers; deceased was a tailor, and was going to make trousers for me ; I bought a hat as well; my old hat was rolled up in the parcel with the cloth, and taken away by deceased ; when he brought me the trousers I asked him for the old hat; he said, "It was thrown away at Benjamin's;" there was poison in the lining of the hat; I hid it for poisoning native dogs at the Weranga station ; I forgot that the poison was in the lining of my old hat; I kept it in my hat because I had previously kept it in my pocket, and had tasted it when chewing my tobacco ; I did not afterwards carry it with my tobacco in my pocket; the packet in my hat contained strychnine ; I had a couple of glasses of grog, and never thought of the poison after buying the cloth; the poison was given to me by Mr. Sele, the manager of the station. Minna Shultz, recalled, said: After dinner deceased drank a lot of vinegar and water and baking-soda; he took also a portion of a powder I have given to Dr. Roberta ; it was the first time he had taken any of that powder; I found the powder in an old hat belonging to a shepherd ; a man at Wockner's public-house gave the hat to deceased.— D.
