Yes, thank you rootgatherer, I guessed that the problem was that the Margaret Jane M Douglas who married Arthur Gillespie had become" Maggie Gillespie",even on official documents, or even Maggie Douglas or Gillespie!! |

MEL,Thank you for all your help. Now I know that Arthur was not sent to France until 10th May 1915 so maybe he held his son David or at least knew of his birth. I Hope so.David died 10 January 1917 in Grangemouth of Whooping Cough. Maggie is Mrs Jamieson & George Jamieson signs as stepfather,but I still cannot find their marriage! |

My aunt Margaret Jane Douglas married Arthur Neil Gillespie in Stirling Scotland on 16 October 1914. He was 22 and she was 20. Both gave Falkirk addresses. He was a pte. in the 10th Battalion Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders. He was killed in action in France on 15 October 1915. A cousin says that Arthur & Maggie had 2 children! Was one born before Arthur went to France, was Maggie pregnant when he went to war?There were 7Gillespie births in Falkirk in 1915:- David; Janet Westwater; Jessie Muir; John; Mary Cunningham; Peter Johnston; William.My cousin thinks that the children were adopted or that a family member raised them. Maggie later married George Jamieson. Any info. would be much appreciated. |
