Hi all,
I'm looking for information on the Gilmore family of the Killyleagh/Comber area. To date, I have found information on:
Joseph Gilmore
William Gilmore (son of Joseph)
Margaret Gilmore (William's wife)
Assorted children of William and Margaret
I am especially interested in the wife of Joseph Gilmore, his parents, and the date of his birth and death.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

It would help if you include dates to give us some idea of what period your are searching for detaiuls on these names.

Thanks aghadowey,
Here's what I've gathered so far (mostly from http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/SURNAMES/G/GilmoreGilmer.htm, Family Search, the Washington State digital archives, and family records)
Joesph Gilmore (b. ~1810???) Don't know much else about him.
William Gilmore (b. 1836, d. 1911 in Seattle); Parish Killyleagh; husband of Margaret McDowell ; father of Pendelina b. 30 Jun 1868 & Robert McDowell Gilmore b. 10 Mar 1874
Margaret Gerch McDowell (b.1843, d. 1903 in Seattle) Parish Comber; daughter of Robert McDowell ; married William Gilmore 26 Dec 1862
Pendelina Gilmore (b. 1868, d. 1947 in Seattle) daughter of William Gilmore and Margaret Gilmore
Thanks in advance for any help.

I suppose you already know this. In Griffiths Valuation 1863/4 there are 2 Joseph Gilmores - one in Corporation and one in Shore Street, Killyleagh
Also one William Gilmore in Clay and one in Toy and Kirkland. Also, LDS has some dates for Joseph Gilmore, which I expect you already know. The Presbyterian Church Records and Church of Ireland are in PRONI. I had them searched for our McCormicks from Killyleagh. RosemaryJoan

Maryderry, thank you very much for trying to help a chatter as you have proven so often in the past. I do think its time to question the tone of our copyright protectors, to me its very rude and unacceptably hard nosed in their manner of delivery. I too have had the eraser applied, I can personnaly admit my stunned reaction at least twice has been I shall give it all up now permanently, etc. I did on one ocassion for some months.
However the greater good is to other chatters and not to the awesome powers people take on themselves. Perhaps you will like me, when at my best, try to forgive their rudeness and intolerance of well meaning help and lets all ask them to have a twitter of some humanity towards someone trying to help, by prefacing their remarks with as a draft example
[font=Verdana] 'Thank you very much for trying to help another chatterer but we are forced to remove part or all of your message below, to protect our website from copyright violations. .[/font] Our decision is as follows. Information removed due to copyright violation. etc etc.
Please continue in trying to help our chatters but try to help us avoid this action in the future as we have powers to ......
What do you think yourself of such an approach?. Best of luck in the future, please continue helping others here and of course elsewhere. Warn me quickly and gently if you see me going off the rails with enthusiasm
