[Note: I am quite certain that this is the right Allan, however, I think they mixed up Allan and John. If you notice above in the 1891 census, John Don, although 7, cannot read or write. Also, these Gillis' lived beside the McDougall's and I even think they are related through pioneer Alexander Gillis who was married to a pioneer McDougall sister.]
