  • Notes 
    • Thomas reportedly (by his brother Robert to B.C. Gillis in 1910) went to England and "rose almost to the top of the ladder."

      The following was told by Tom Gillis of Ottawa to his sister Katie in l943:

      Uncle Andrew, the eldest son of Robert Gillis and Catherine McDole had two sons, Robert and Thomas. Robert was the man who trailed and caught Crippen on a boat at Quebec. He was the Inspector of Scotland Yards and either he or Thomas recovered with the "queen's Gold Lace." [2]
