There is a birth in Greenock which could fit:

MARK JOHNSTONE
Mother's maiden name GILLESPIE
1907
564 / 2 / 919
Greenock West

Possible death also in Greenock in 1973, aged 65.

Just possibilities for now.

There is this birth:
   
AGNES VERONICA JOHNSTONE
Mother's maiden name GILLESPIE
1909
564 / 2 / 489
Greenock West

A possible sister to the Mark born in 1907?

Parents Thomas Johnstone and Mary Gillespie married in Greenock West in 1906.

I think father died in WW1 (1916). See www.inverclydeww1.org/honour-roll/thomas-johnstone

Agnes Johnstone married John Murphy in Greenock West in 1940.

Her parents match what we are discussing, Thomas Johnstone and Mary Gillespie. See clip from marriage below:
