Title: help request gravestone reading Tullamore
Post by: brendan thomas on Monday 05 August 24 10:02 BST (UK)
The gravestone is for the Gilson family in St Josephs cemetery Tullamore. I see the image in Find a Grave but cant enlarge it to be sufficiently legible.
Im trying to find the parents and siblings of James aka Jimmy Gilson who died in Jan 1976. My father used to call him 'cousin'.
The reference is below.
Thanks

In 'Find a Grave'
Memorial ID 232512879 CLONMINCH CEMETERY, Tullamore.
Jimmy Gilson d. 12 01 1976

Tap the photo & it will appear in the centre of the page.  Tap "view original" in bottom right hand corner & it enlarges & is easily readable

If you just put Gilson into the search the same photo will show for several names in the list of results.

Clicking on the first one Annie gives some relationships to other names.
I didn’t look any further.

Thanks all.
Thomas' grandson, Patrick, died last week. I knew of a relationship but wasn't sure. His son James, who I remember living in High St beside Owen Marron's house, was my fathers first cousin and he is shown on that inscription as d aged 86. Another help from the site gave me a link to James showing his parents and dob as 1890 so all the dates 'tie in'
