Hi !, My name is Carol. I live in Bloomsburg, pennsylvania, USA. I am searching for my great grandmother who was born Jane Gillespie. I believe she was born in Lancashire, England around 1868. I don't know her mother's name but her father's name was (possibly) James Henry Gillespie. He may have been born in England or Ireland. Jane married a Thomas Hargreaves in the 1880's. They had a daughter, Mary, then moved to the USA and settled in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Any information would be so much appreciated.
