Australia / SAMUEL GILLESPIE--Please help!!
« on: Wednesday 17 December 14 20:01 GMT (UK)  »
 :) Hello Oz-or should I say gday??-from Brittany in France

I have very little info at present about Samuel Gillespie--born 1914 I believe in N Ireland,parents Thomas and Alice Macklin.
His grandaughter has contacted me to see if I could find out if he was still alive or not.
She has been told he emigrated to Oz about 1966/8- --sorry guys I do not at this moment know any more,and I have no idea how to trace family in Oz
Samuel had left his uk family- by that time -and it is believed had another relationship (not sure if he married again.
Thank You

I have been  been able to confirm , that Dorothy Olive  Robinson nee Davies,  had been married before to a Robinson!!! and  there were  children from that marriage

Thanks for the other info---seems that Herbert ( Alexanders brother who he took care of ) who I 'm told had some disability.
has disappeared,if he was still alive at Alexander;s death in 1958 it would have been an awful lot for Dorothy to manage with babies .

Yes I am informed she must have been fertile !!!-as to Ancestry--sadly I cannot afford the premiums-although I do know a Williams--hopefully  2nd cousin? have a tree,but I cannot access any of that.
Bless you--you are indeed very kind

 :o Wow-have you a crystal ball??

To be honest I had no idea of her date of birth or death-!!
-I  assumed she had taken granpa's surname -for respectability!--Alexander was still married to Ellen (BOYLE).
This gives me  such hope that all this info you have very kindly passed on-may lead to finding his final resting place. Thank You

 :)fOUND SOME MORE INFO!-on Alexander Robinson--had a disabled? brother Herbert! and 3 children Alexander J,   Rosemary,   and Margaret-believed to have married a Heath in 1970?.
I am totally jiggered here-obviously Alexander died 1958-no idea where his resting place is-tried Allerton and Toxteth--would dearly love to know this above all-so next time I am in UK--AS ALWAYS visit my favourite  city!!! I could  place some flowers there for a  real hero! ( Police) ,and gentleman--who cared for his disabled brother-when no-one else would.
Would anyone know about this pawnshop at all?
Maybe some of the children are alive?-but I doubt if Herbert is--so sorry have no more info.
I am 67 yrs old--so time is also running out for me to find     my old Granpa !!xx

 :) Thank You All ,so much.

I have briefly checked the Allerton site -zilch-although there maybe some of his second family buried there,but I do not have their names.

All I do know  for sure-is his partners first names Dorothy Olive  registered his death , AND AS  his estate went to my Grandmother--as his widow  ,almost impossible to trace any of that family.

As it is, have the hugest brickwall with his early life as a Policeman?? in N Ireland --again no records!!!!!--I believe maybe available 2021/22--  when you are my age--I want it before I meet him!! ::)

 :) :) Hello-- from Brittany in France.

I am totally stumped!! huge brickwall--re my grandfathers grave-burial place.
Alexander Harold Robinson--died 20 June 1958-( born approx 1896 N Ireland )in Brownlow hill hospital.
Anyone have a clue where he might have been buried??
He was born in N Ireland--and married   in Presbyterian church--so COI I expect--BUT lived with Dorothy Olive?  in Liverpool  AND HAD FURTHER children


Only other info I CAN GIVE- he had  run a pawnshop business in old Swan-- and have just the address of that-no other info  regarding that sadly.
Many Thanks for any help
