Gilreaths in the UK?

Question

Does anyone here know if there are any mention sof living or deceased Gilreaths in Ulster County, Ireland or Glasgow, Scotland? Are there any gravestones that bear the surname or ones similiar to it? Are there any landmarks associated with it?

I'm mostly interested in those two areas, but if you know of any living or deceased elsewhere in the UK, I'd like to know about those places too.

Thanks to all for their efforts so far, but, and I don't want to come off as rude, I must stress that my questions asked about the UK and people's knowledge of any Gilreaths that may have lived there, or do, not for reference sites, with most of them having to do with the US, that apparently aren't specific to the UK. The LDS site might be an exception, but the accuracy of some of its information is suspect. Also, the Gilreath family goes back to the mid 18th century in North Carolina, so the house of names comment about when early name variants came about is either inaccurate or doesn't apply.

Answer 1

I can look on a few English sites for you - genealogy, ancestors and phone book. I am in the UK.

It is 01.34 at the moment and I am very tired so can't do it right now. but I will look up the name for you.

I will click on your avatar tomorrow (Friday) if I find anything.
