James GILLESPIE - born abt. 1786

[UNDERTAKER]

do you know when David Gillespie was born as i am related to a David Gillespie, as the first name was always passed down the family line as sometimes was the surname. mine was born in 1796 in alloa and we also had a agnes gillespie but she wasn't born in 1820 but 1790 in tillicoultry. i also have some Russel anscestors.

It is interesting that you mention Bonnybridge.  One of my relatives was a farmer there.
It was called Bonnyfield.

I will go through your family page and see what I can find.

Rob, David Gillespie I think was born on 23/01/1796. Do you know if this was your David.?

Hi Undertaker.

I don't believe it can be the same David. My David had a child (James) born in
1811 in Larbert which means he would have to be 15 years old or younger when married.

James married Margaret Russell in Larbert in 1831.

If you go to Ancestry and search for  Allan Family Tree March 2012,
you will be able to see everything I have at this point in time.  If you see anything that
makes sense in your family please let me know.

I am also working through the file from ourfamilylives but can't make a connection there either so far.

Cheers,
Rob

Will have a look at my Russell ancestors to see if I can find a link as if not the same family may be related as all the first Names were passed down the family line as was some of the maiden names so will be able to tell one way or another.

I have an Agnes Gillespie b. 25 Nov 1847 in Falkirk, in 1864 she was listed as a mill worker. That's all I have. She was the daughter of Robert Gillespie and Jean/Jane Melrose of Falkirk.
