Jo, I to am just starting to research this family. In my tree I have a BARTON SMITH of Sligo marying a FRANCES HILLAS in December 1793. She was the daughter (I think) of ROBERT HILLAS. I have found a brief Hillas genealogy in 'the Irish ancestor' Issue 1 1972, and I have also found reference to a ROBERT and FRANCES HILLAS gravestone in the book 'Had me Made' who look like possible grandparents for my FRANCES.

Hi



Just joined and father's family is from Sligo. I was born there and lived there for 10 years.



Don't have any info on Hillas.



However, do you know that there is a Barton Smith sports shop in Sligo Town, right by the bridge on the Garaogue river. You mention this name in the thread above. Maybe just a co-incidence.



Hibernian

River is Garavogue (missed the 'v' when typing).
