Hi Anne,
During the course of my research I have discovered an Australian line of Pillans which you may be interested in.I'm in Australia, but it's not my direct line.
New South Wales Immigration Records list the following family arriving on the 'Florida' in 1885.
William Pillans - 47yrs
Janet Pillans - 48
Robert - 24
Anthony - 23
Anne - 21
Janet - 19
William - 15
Hugh - 13
Isabella - 11
John - 8
Mary - 6
I located the family on the 1881 Scottish census living at, Tashieburn, Carnwath, Lanark.
Further investigation reveals that William was born 21 Nov 1837, Carnwath, to Robert Pillans and Janet Hendry.So the family is related to your line.
William Pillans married Janet P Muir in 1860, Carnwath.She died in 1909 in Newcastle, NSW, and her parents are recorded as Anthony and Annie.William died in 1914 at West Wallsend, NSW, and parents are recorded as Robert and Janet.
I hope you find this of use.Let me know if you want details of the rest of the Australian line.
Regards
Sharyn
I have extra information on who the children married and their descendants if you're interested.
