GILLESPIE of Ballymena

Looking for the Births of Rose and Esther GILLESPIE of Ballymena

Parents are Robert GILLESPIE and Elizabeth KENNY

Rose and Esther were in Australia by 1865 when Rose married  Alexander GREER  also from Antrim..   Esther married Hugh KELLY from Armagh in Brisbane in 1867

I cant find their entry into Australia..

A newspaper article on the Wedding of Esther and Hugh in 1867 suggests  Robert GILLESPIE was still alive in Ballymena..no mention of the Mother...

From their death certificates it would seem Rose was born about 1840 and  Esther 1845.


I have plenty of information from the Weddings to this day  but nothing from Ireland..

Any suggestions
