John, you mention a "Millar/Gillespie group". I am very curious. My oldest Gillespie from Falkirk/Glasgow, married an unknown first wife and had a son Millar Gillespie b. abt 1830 possibly in Falkirk. In a 1864 petition to the Falkirk Poorhouse, Robert states that in 1864 Millar is a soldier.

Do you have any clues for me???

Thanks,
Gayle

Gayle, is this the family you mention? Census entry from 1851. Everyone showing as born in Falkirk except for mother Jean:

Robert Gellispie 60, moulder
Jean Gellispie 35 b. Edinburgh
Miller Gellispie 21, son, labourer
Jean Gellispie 13
Ketherine Gellispie 8
John Gellispie 6
Agnes Gellispie 4

Address: Back Row, Falkirk

From online trees, mother Jane/Jean's maiden name shows as Melrose?
