• Notes

  Census records give conflicting accounts of James' birth. Given the commonality of his name, the following account warrants review. In 1834, when James was 29-years-old, his parents and younger siblings packed up and moved to Canada. James already had a family established at this point and chose to stay behind. In 1841, James was residing on Warroch Street in St. Mark's parish, Barony, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland with his wife Margaret and sons Hugh and James. James Sr. was employed as a journeyman iron moulder. In 1851, James was residing in Deanston, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as an iron moulder in a cotton mill, born 1804 in Denny, Stirling, Scotland. Residing with his wife, M. Gillespie, b 1803 in Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland, and their children J. (James) Gillespie, b 1837, and J. (John) Gillespie, b 1846. In 1861, James was residing in #2 First Division (Deanston Works), Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as an iron moulder, with his wife Margaret and son John.
