Where Hay GILLESPIE came from i have two leads? I have a Hay GILLESPIE b1850 Cupar to a Robert GILLESPIE + Agnes NAIRNE. or a Hay GILLESPIE b 1840 Falkirk to a GILLESPIE WILLIAM +MCCULLOCHMARGARET . Why i am in conflict by these two , is because i have a Census Report 1891 reporting Hay GILLESPIE was 51. By the same token it reports Jessie S Gillespie as 45 and i know for a factshe was 24 . hmm.

Anne Lamb If you find a lake called Lough TALT on a map of Co.Sligo, TAAFFE's MOUNTAIN lies to the North-West of that, right on the border between Co.Sligo and Co.Mayo, and just about half-way between the towns of BALLINA (in Co.MAyo) and TOBERCURRY (in Co.Sligo). This property adjoined the O'DOWDA Estate of Bonniconlon in Co.Mayo. Frank Mara <[email protected]> wrote in article <[email protected]>... Can anyone help me locate the town of Mount Taaffe in Kilmacteage in Co. Sligo? It is recorded as the birth location of some O'Dowds. I believe it tobe >> somewhere around the Tobercurry area, but can't find any reference to >> such a location. There was a Taaffe family of some prominence in that >> area. Is it possible that civil authorities would use an estate name or >> location as a birth location for the records?
