Edited with the correct link to index

I found this record whilst doing a search on Familysearch but I am uncertain if the person in this record is or is not the child of William Gillespy (abt. 1695  - aft 1724) Gillespy-51. Would someone more knowledgeable about the Gillespy family and Quaker records look at this information index please and if actual record is available tell me if this person is or isn't a child of his.  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FWGX-JHV

It looks like Jane refers to Archibald's wife. What the image actually says:

Arch'd Gillesby son of Wm and Jane Gillesby of Palgaids was born 17 of June 1724.
Jane his wife was born 28 January 1726
Abigaill Daughter of Wm and Jane Gillesby was born the 3 of March 1722

* "England & Wales, Society Of Friends (Quaker) Births 1578-1841"<br/>Reference: RG6/1528<br/>[https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=TNA%2FRG6%2F1528%2F0%2F0026&parentid=TNA%2FRG6%2FBAP%2F1689819 FindMyPast Image] - [https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=TNA%2FRG6%2FBAP%2F1689819 FindMyPast Transcription] (accessed 20 March 2024)<br/>Jane wife of Archibald Gillesby born 28 Jan 1726, recorded in Solport, Cumberland, England.

I've edited the citation to reflect that & absence of birth location.

Just to add that it doesn't actually say she was born in Solport.

The Familysearch transcript you have linked to is for an Anne Peirson daughter of John Peirson, and she will not be daughter of William Gillespy. Did you mean to link to a different Familysearch transcript?

Sorry for putting up the incorrect link - having too many tabs open at once.  This is the link I meant to put up (I've edited it in the original post.) . https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FWGX-JHV
