There's no Robert Quilliam in the birth index---I think that this is Robert Gregg / Mylchreest (see below)

notes:
JQ b Marown
FQ b German
1 son and 4 boarders:
Robert and Euphemia were both illegit children of a Jane Mylchreest (the same JM, hotel chambermaid in Douglas, who was the mother of Jessie Ann Mylchreest b 1883 ?)
Wm and Henry Ellis were probably the illegit sons of Lucy Ellis (in 1901 she was a Douglas hotel chambermaid b England ).

Euphemia daughter
William son.
Edith granddau
Were these children Euphemia Chapman/Mylchreest and William Ellis who were perhaps adopted by James+Frances Quilliam ?
In the censuses, many of the children living with this couple were fostered, not biological. The IGI has these biological ones, all b Douglas:
Edith May 1884
William Cain 1886
William 1887
Thomas Frederick 1888
*************
Now looking in earlier censuses for the Frances Carran who married James Quilliam in 1883. But was she the same person as Frances Carran, mother of Edward Clague b 1879 ?
