Esther Gillard and Jane Gillard were sisters?

Esther Gillard and Jane Gillard were sisters?

I also have a census record that lists an Este with Jane and her other siblings. Sometimes its hard to decipher the census names, and of course, sometimes nicknames were written. My grandma is Jane Gillard's granddaughter. I'm back on the trail of Jane and her husband Thomas Flann after being contacted by a man from Yale, BC putting together a book on the history of the area. I know Jane's younger brother Edward played a big role in Jane's life, and in my Grandma's. Would be curious if there's anyone else out there who has info on the Flann and Gillard families from Yale. Hope to get around to posting a few pictures I have from this era.

This is fantastic having the census's layed out in order like this. Thank-you. I'm curious why Thomas changes to 'Hill' in the latest census. According to my grandma, who is Jane Gillard's granddaughter, Thomas left Jane at some point and moved to Vancouver. Jane raised a good portion of the kids on her own, with the financial contribution of some of the boys. Does any of this ring a bell to you?

he didn't change it to Hill, it was misread by the person transcribing the census, if you look at the photo it is Thos. or Tho C Flann

Gladys Jane Flann birth cert has father as Thomas C Flann and Jane Gillard but transcribed by someone as Thomas Cumberne and Jane Hoskins

Robert birth list him as Thomas Camban Flann
