Thanks again Sandra. Interesting to read of the physical characteristics of George ............... all now enshrined on the tree and I am most grateful.

I hesitate to ask this after you have researched so much on my behalf, already - but do you have any access to New York cemetery records? I am particularly interested in John and wonder if he was buried with Bridget who died in 1902? (I am not surprised she died so young  - so many children!)

Hello again, Sandra.

I have just come across a website called -  Glespen.com - created by a Suzy Glespen from New Jersey (now living in Paris) who writes she is a grand daughter of George Edward Glespen b. 1884.
From what she has posted it appears she is not in possession of all the information you have generously provided me. I hope she 'tunes in' to Rootschat to read of all you have researched.
