Hi Hume,
the one thing I have left to do is find out when her parents died to connect further back than that. As he was a brush maker, I am wondering if he suffered from ailments attached to his occupation.
I have Charles Laidlaws father already.

I have a Jane Melrose b. 1817 in Edinburgh, possibly to James Melrose and Mary (?). She has a daughter, Janet Moncrieff about 1838 from possibly a tryst. In 1842 she marries Robert Gillespie, a widower with children, and has several children with Robert including my grandfather. They lived in Falkirk after their marriage.

As with lots people who have Melrose ancestors, my family also said that Jane was not communicated with. Rumor has it that her father may have married a servant against family wishes and thus were expelled from the elite.

Does anyone have a James Melrose b abt 1792 who would have married a Mary and had a daughter Jane abt 1817 in Edinburgh???
My earliest is Robert Gillespie born about 1791-1796 in Falkirk to Robert Gillespie (1768) of Falkirk and Margaret Millar of Carriden. He marries about 1817 to unknown woman and has Janet, Alexander, Margaret, Millar and David. In 1842 he marries Jean/Jane Melrose and has Catherine, John, Agnes and James. James is my ggrandfather. Robert dies 1868 in Falkirk Poor House. For info on my Gillespie family
