Brick Wall - Peter Gillespie, Logie Perthshire 1770.....

Post by darylrodger » Sun Jan 29, 2006 8:31 pm

Hi,

Can anyone advise me on where to look for info on an ancestor in 1770's, Perthshire ? His name was Peter Gillespie, and he married Helen Nicol in Logie, Perthshire in 1770. He moved to Alloa, where he worked as a labourer for Mr. Erskine, on his estate. One of his son's, David born in 1775, is my ancestor.

I would be really grateful for any help!!!!

Hi Darylrodger,
Not sure if you are looking for a birth record or not. A quick look on S.P. free search brought up one in 1743 but can't tell you where. The Family Search website brought up about four but I don't know if they have one you are looking for. You've probably tried those already.
