Gilmores of Killyleagh/Comber

[Willson]

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,

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
