[ourfamilylines]

back in 2002 I copied this from the IGI but since can't find anything else:

Robert Gillespie marries Mary Millar 18 Jan 1788 in Falkirk
Batch m119704, Source call 1041944, film 6902157

My Robert b. abt 1789-1796 in Falkirk had a son abt 1830 by unknown first wife that he named Millar Gillespie. As yet, I've nothing on him. I would love to know if this Robert married to Mary is my Robert's parents~

There are 3 marriages for Robert born about 1791 and they may all pertain to him. Robert Gillespie married 3rd Jean Maxwell 20 Oct 1832
Laurieston Presbyterian, Falkirk, Stirling, Scotland

I could only find the 1851 census transcription on find my past, it would be worth checking Scotlands People for the detail.

1851 Back Row, Falkirk – GILLESPIE, born Falkirk
Robert 60 a Moulder, Jean wife 35
Children; Miller 21 (Labourer), Jean 13, Ketherine 8, John 6 & Agnes 4

A Miller Gillespie died Greenwich, London Q2/1858 - Vol 1D page 410.

As this is quite an unusual name it could well be him. I would imagine he was named after his grandmothers surname.

Hope this helps.

Monica, I know believe the Margaret Gillespie is the mother of my Robert (1796-1868) and wife of Robert Gillespie (1763-1834). Her parents were John Millar and Ann Alexander of Airth/Falkirk.
