Hi,

I'm hoping someone out there can help me find out what happened to my grandfather's youngest brother.

His name was John Storrie Gillespie b.13 Apr 1899 in Paisley to James Gillespie & Janet nee Storrie. He emigrated to Canada in 1920 and arrived at Quebec.

He stayed with his cousin James More at 5 Thorpe St, Guelph. He then stayed with his uncle James Borland in Melville St. Dundas, Ontario, about 1921. His mother Janet also stayed at an address in Port Nelson, in 1922.

Can anyone help ?

Regards,

Daryl
