My Earliest Gillespie's in Falkirk

[fifer1947]

Is this the entry for 1841?

Piece: SCT1841/479 Place: Falkirk -Stirlingshire Enumeration District: 6
Civil Parish: Falkirk Burgh Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: Falkirk Burgh
Folio: 0 Page: 2
Address: Vicar Loan, West Side        
GILLESPIE    Margaret    F    75             
GILLESPIE    Robert    M    45    Journeyman Mason 
GILLESPIE    James    M    15    Agricultural Servant        
GILLESPIE    David    M    10    Agricultural Servant        
GILLESPIE    Uillan       M    12    Farm Servant f'name maybe Hillan [I presume Millar?]

If so Roberts mother is Margaret, as she is also on the record, but we have a James unaccounted for in list of children's names unless he had died before Robert entered the Poor House?

Found out some information about some Mary Duncan's in a related tree to mine on Genes Reunited but don't know if these are yours.
1. Mary Duncan 1802-1888 Marries James Drysdale 1800-1881.
2.Mary Duncan 1829 Single, Father John Duncan Born 1803 Mother Sarah Hynd Born 1797.
3. Mary Duncan Born 15/11/189 in Tillicoultry Married George Sharp in 1914, in Tillicoultry, Father Richard Duncan Born 1864- Died 1933 Mother Christina Sneddon Born 1863- Died 1923
4. Mary Duncan 1856 Father Andrew Duncan Born 1816 Mother Mary Sharp Born 1819
5. Mary Ferguson Duncan 1868 Father Thomas Duncan Born 1838 . Mother Euphemia Beveridge Born 1842 I think.

Unfortunately I don't.   I know nothing of Robert's first children with his first unknown wife, except, that according to an 1864 poor relief document he states that :
1. daughter Janet in USA in 1864
2. son Alexander is a laborer and has 3 children in SCT  in 1864
3. Margaret is is Australia in 1864
4. Millar is a soldier
5. David is a sailor

Wish I had more to offer. Still searching.

His last child, son James, that Robert had with Jane Melrose in 1857 is my ggrandfather. Don't know anything about one listed on this 1841 cens

[ourfamilylines]

James Gillespie b. 1857 married Mary Duncan. All of their children carry the middle name of Melrose (James mother) or Duncan except their second to last child born 1895 in Denny. They named her
Katie Smith Gillespie. She died a year after her birth. I realize that sometimes parents will give the
middle name of someone they wish to honor, but since I don't have birth cert on this child, I wonder if
the Smith name might have been a grandparents last name.

So tantalizing....

I looked back through my binders and I was indeed in touch with Mr. Robert Stewart re the Gillespie, Duncan lines in 2000. One of his notes to he he states" I have already sent you Robert (Robert Hutton Gillespie) and his sister Ann Cooper's deaths. If only something could be found abouth their parents William Gillespie and Elizabeth Hutton".

Wanted that noted here for future links to anyone on here.
