Hi Loris,
I don't have the birth certificate of James- I have his marriage certificate. I could send you that for sure.

Hi Loris,
great to hear from you. I know nothing of the Gillespies, or the Murdochs, beyond the generation of Martha and James, so I would love to see the marriage certificate. I only found out recently that the family was from Ireland- I had found my GGrandfather's birth certificate (in Glasgow) and had been searching in vain in Scotland and then remembered that somone in the family had said the Murdochs were from Ireland, so I was delighted to find them there- especially since Irish records are somewhat scarce. Interesting to hear about your family in Australia. I lived there myself for six years when I was a kid, in Avalon near Sydney.
cheers
Andy

Hi there,
this is great- I am descended from Robert Murdock and Martha Gillespie. My great grandfather was their son James (born 1858 and not listed on the IGI). They ended up moving to Glasgow, and my great-grandfather and later his brother Robert (born 1868) moved to Saskatchewan to homestead around 1890 (I'm Canadian). I've got a photo of James and Robert from around the turn of the century.
I'd love to find out more about the Derry Gillespies if you do have info.
All the best
Andy
