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.

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!

Thanks aghadowey,
I visited that page the other day and got some very useful info. They had the marriage date for my gg grandfather and gg grandmother (William Gilmore and Margaret Gerch McDowell, m. 26 Dec 1862) as well as the birthday of my great grandmother (Pendelina Gilmore, b.30 Jun 1868). So got some great stuff there and it got me started with that side of my family. But now I need to take the next step and I'm kind of at a loss...

Hi Celia,
Thanks very much for your efforts! But, alas, I don't think the records you found have any relation to the relatives I'm searching for. No need to look at later dates. I'm pretty sure what I'm looking for took place in the late 1830s-early 1840s.
Not sure what you meant when you said that you didn't want to offend, but be assured I have taken no offense at anything and just really appreciate all your efforts and willingness to help me!
Any ideas where to look for further info on the Gilmores/McDowells would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
BTW...couldn't figure out how to respond directly to the e-mail you sent, so I posted my reply here. Cheers!

Hi Celia,
Are you still taking requests for baptism/marriage info from the First Presbyterian Church in Killyleagh? The Irish side of my family came from this area and I believe many of them were Presbyterians.
If you can help, I would be interested in any information regarding any or all of the following individuals:
William Gilmore (born 1836)
Joseph Gilmore (father of William)
_____ Gilmore (mother of William)
Margaret McDowell (born 1842)
Robert McDowell (father of Margaret)
_____ McDowell (mother of Margaret)
Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
