Evidence and limits
This is a source-qualified birth record based on a newspaper notice, which names “Mr. and Mrs. John Gillespie” as parents and Jewell and Rita Gillespie and Walter and Mrs. Wojan as grandparents. The parent identification is corroborated independently by the 1967 Gillespie–Wojan wedding record and by sister Rene Therese Gillespie’s 1975 birth notice, which name the same couple. No further biography beyond this notice is held, consistent with Heather Marie Gillespie being plausibly still living.
