Not that this helps, but Genes don’t automatically remove trees when the owner leaves or sadly dies.

Thomas who owns the tree on GR sadly died 2017.

So I guess no further on GR?

He actually was given Order of Australie Medal.

Welcome to the boards, Michael.

To check if she's on anyone's GR tree, see "Search all member trees" under "Search" at top right of this page.

If any of the results look like your Gillian, send a message to the tree "owner" by clicking on "Find out more" and explaining your interest.

Where and when did Ivy die? I assume you found the tribute online, and that it mentioned grand-children, to lead you to believe that Gillian had married.
