I am searching for information about my ancestor Stuart Gillespie 1816-1874. I believe he lived in Dublin .
He married Mary Boyton (1818-1868) on 22 September 1830 in St Mary's Parish Dublin.
I have traced my forbears from my grandfather Thomas Edward Gillespie (1879-1965) to Stuart Gillespie but can go back no further and have only limited information about him.
I am hoping someone may be able to help.
Thank you, Liz Oxley
