Chauncey Marshall GILLESPIE
born 5 May 1879 Belfast, Ireland
son of Robert Gillespie & Kate Clendinning Watters (according to IGI)

found family tree online which says Chauncey Marshall Gillespie born c1880 Ireland married 4 July 1919 at Lake Co. Indiana to Alexus Biesen. (not sure this is right Chauncey even though age and birthplace seem to match)

would appreciate lookup for Chauncey Gillespie born c1879 Ireland- one in England in 1901 census and at least one possible entry in 1930 census on Ancestry.

You may aready have this but the 1891 census has an 11 yr old Chauncey M Gillespie born in Belfast as a scholar at a school in London - lewisham (School for Sons of Missionaries) reference RG12/518

Do you know for sure he was in England in 1901 as I can't see him. There is a C.M. Gillespie born Belfast, 1880. in Edinburgh in 1901. He is a boarder and occupation listed as medical.

You didn't ask for this, but he is found with Alexis in 1920 Tulsa, Oklahoma working as "assistant practicing physician".  This fits with glenclare's 1901 "medical" occupation.

Thank you all for the details posted. The IGI entry is the 1st I'd seen of this Chauncey Marshall Gillespie (very distinctive name at least) and it all seems to fit into place.

1891- at School for Sons of Missionaries in London (wonder why his brother Samuel wasn't there also)

1901- Edinburgh (studying medicine?)

1910- marries Alexis Biesen in Indiana

1920- Tulsa, Oklahoma as assistant practicing physician (indexed as Charney)

?1930- Price Co., Wisconsin (this entry from Ancestry index but I can't view details)

Strangely enough if I ask for him 1901 census for Scotland no results come up but them last night there was an entry for 1901 in England!

Hi agh,

Here are the 1930 details.
Chauncey Gillespie is living  on 1st. St. South in Flambeau Township, Price Co. Wis. He is 31 years old, born in Northern Ireland, parents born in Northern Ireland. He emigrated in 1904 and is a physician with a local practice.
He has a wife named Della. She is 19 years old 
Della was born in Ohio. Her father was born in Switzerland and her mother in Pennsylvania. They have no children.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Indi

Thanks Indi but am now more confused- the Chauncey Gillespie I'm looking for should be 31 not 51!

[indiapaleale]

Hi agh,
Duh...I messed that up didn't I?

His age is 51 - her age is 44 - He was 31 at marriage - she was 19 at marriage.

Sorry about that....that's what happens when I do look-ups at 6 a.m.!

No problem Indi- looks like the right person in 1930. Will continue trying to track him down.
