Hi List, I just joined your list and thought I would post my GILLESPIE line in case there are others out there searching in Scotland. ALEXANDER GILLESPIE b. abt.1820 in Airth, Stirlingshire. Married in 1844, ANNE LEISHMAN b.1822 in Airth. Their children: ROBERT GILLESPIE b. abt 1842 (poss. Airth) JAMES GILLESPIE b. abt 1846 (poss. Airth) ALEXANDER GILLESPIE b. abt 1849 (poss. Airth) GEORGE GILLESPIE b.1851 Alloa, Clack. ------------------------------------------------------ GEORGE GILLESPIE b.1851, Alloa, Clack. married in 1876 in Kirkintilloch, ISABELLA URE b.1858 in Kirkintilloch. Their children: ISABELLA GILLESPIE b.1878 in Kirkintilloch GEORGE GILLESPIE b.1881 in Kirkintilloch ------------------------------------------------------- GEORGE GILLESPIE b.1881, Kirkintilloch, married in 1904 in Grangemouth, MARY McQUILKEN CLARK b. abt 1881 (either Scotland or Down,Ireland). Their children: MARY URE GILLESPIE b.1905 ISABELLA GILLESPIE b.1907 in Glasgow HELEN GILLESPIE b.1909 in Glasgow MARGARET URE GILLESPIE b.1911 in Govan Not too much to go on. I would like to connect with anyone searching in this area. Still trying to find ALEXANDER GILLESPIE's parents. I'm going on the assumption that his fathers's name was ROBERT or JAMES from the first two sons that I've been able to find. There may have been more sons between 1841 and 1846. (His wife's ANNE LEISHMAN father's name was JOHN.) Thanks for any help or clues you can give. Janice Loudon [email protected]
