HI,
Margaret McIlroy JOHNS whose father was Bartholomew & mother Ellen, her findagrave has been lumped in with parents known as John McIlroy & Mary Jane Logan: don't know if you have any record on Findagrave of her parents but this is her link: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/173073011/margaret-johns. It even has Margaret's Funeral record on it to say who her parents were.
Once you try & sort this McIlroy family out you can be weeks researching and still not see the end in site. lol
Cheers
Margaret Hansen

New Zealand / Re: Horace (Lawrence?) Gordon KILMISTER
« on: Friday 28 March 25 11:52 GMT (UK) »
So... are Horace Gordon and Lawrence Gordon KILMISTER one and the same person?
From his niece she only knew him as Gordon. Seems a few of the Kilmisters added another name to what is on BDMS:
Raewyn Elsie Kilmister married a Bruton.
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122752976/edit
If Audrey Fay was known as Fay this could be her marriage in Queensland:
Fay Kilminster
Event date: 03/05/1947
Event type: Marriage registration
Registration details: 1947/B/12479
Spouse: Arthur Joseph Smith
audrey Fay is daughter of Albert Edward Kilmister & Rangipaura [Martha Leila] Watene/Kilmister . There wer 2 children in this marriage.Hinemanu Myrtle Martha Kilmister
B:17 Aug 1925 NZ
D:14 Mar 1943 Whakatane area, New Zealand was the other one.
Martha & Albert divorced & she married his half brother Gordon. so Gordon was Fays niece & step father.
As they had the same surname, in later years so far I have found out that they appeared to live as what some of the family thought as a married couple. Fay moved to Queensland either pregnant or with a baby. Which would have been Raewyn Kilmister.
It may be a good while before my 3rd cousin & sons MILaw is able to obtain the hard copy good research he sister had done, that her niece is supposedly holding. her grandma was Mabel 'Ruby' Kilmister who never gave anything away. More recently it has been found out that Ruby had a baby before she married Hugh McIlroy. It was a girl she named Dorothy. I think she recently passed in Aus & had dementia. Dont know her adopted name. Trying to find out what area of NZ she was born in so I can plough through the birth fiche for that area & time. Hugh was a bit cross as he would have welcomed her with open arms into the family.

Many thanks
Margaret
