GILLESPIE College St National School
« on: Monday 27 March 06 21:56 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Looking for information on Alfred Blackley GILLESPIE who taught at the College St National School  in Armagh city from 1897 to 1914. His wife was Mary Hutton GILLESPIE. They had 7 children: John, Grace, Alfred, Harold, Beth, George and Mary (Mollie) born between 1896 and 1910. They immigrated to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1914. He was a Mason and active in the First Presbyterian Church in Armagh. He was my great grandfather.

Is the school still standing?, the church? I have addresses at 11 Mall View Terrace and Lisinally Lane. Would they still be there? I'll be visiting in May.

Thank you
Val

Hiya Val,

I'm only reading your message now.

Did you have a good time in Armagh and find plenty of information about your ancestors?

Best Wishes, Chris
