The only record found for the WHILLER family is the marriage of daughter Janet (aka Jessie), which declares her father to be a pensioner called John, living in Edinburgh.Apart from this the name does not seem to exist an any Scottish records, making research extremely frustrating!.
|
|
To further confuse the research, on the death certificate for William and Janet's son Frederick (Edinburgh 1912), his mother's maiden name is given as GLASS, I cannot find any explanation of this, apart from a simple mistake, as the name WHILLER is mentioned many times in relation to William and Janet, including being a 'given' name to son Jonah.

Janet's death is also a mystery, as there does not appear to be a record for it (between 1851 and 1861), even under the surname GLASS. When son Frederick married in 1858, Jessie McLEAN witnessed the marriage (however this could be Frederick's sister Janet/ Jessie, rather than his mother). By the time of the 1861 census, William was a widower.
