HISTORICAL	1798 [1]
	Irish Rebellion Engendered by the Society of United Irishmen, est. 1791, uniting Presbyterians, Catholics, and Dissenters against English control of Irish political affairs. Events came to a head with the open, armed rebellion of 1798. The rebellion was put down and resulted in the Union of Ireland and Britain in 1801.
RESEARCH	1800	Diocese of Killala and Achonry [2]
	Marriage of a Thomas Gillmor and Mary Grier, same Diocese as Thomas Gilmor and Mary Read, in 1800--the right year for Thomas's 1803 birth. Possible?

	Union of Ireland and Britain. Irish MPs and Peers joined the British Parliament. The Irish parliament was abolished. At the same time, the Church of Ireland was combined with the Church of England to become the Church of England and Ireland. As the official church of Ireland, it was supported by "tithe" or tax. Roman Catholics resented paying a tithe to support the state church.

RESEARCH	1833	Tully townland, Castleconnor Parish, County Sligo, Ireland [5, 6]
	Tithe applotments show a James Gilmore next to a Robert Reid and sons and a James Gilmore next to William Reid. Townland Tullylinn, County Sligo, Killalla Diocese, Castleconnor parish General Alphabetical Index to the Townlands and Towns, Parishes, and Baronies of Ireland . . .

Residence	1833	Barnacoghill townland, Templeboy Parish, County Sligo, Ireland
	A "Thos Gilmor" occupied a farm n the Barnacoghill townlands. This may have been our Thomas Gilmore, as we know he was married in 1828 in the parish of Killala and Achonry, nearby.

RESEARCH	1836	Belleville, Ontario, Canada
	A George W. Gilmore, filed a land petition in Belleville, 1836. He was married to Elizabeth Watson, the daughter of Robert Watson. Robert was charged with murder and deeded, by gift, his land to his daughter Elizabeth and her husband George W. Gilmore. Robert Watson's son William was also charged for the same murder. Robert was convicted and hanged and William was found innocent. William claimed his father's land, based on the fact that his father thought they were both going to jail or death. George petitioned the courts to retain the land because it was legally deeded, he had maintained it, and he had borne much of the expense of their trials. He was allowed to keep the land. Could this George W. Gilmore be a brother to Thomas Gilmore? The name and the era make it possible. A long shot, but worth remembering. George's petition was found indexed online at Library and Archives Canada, searching the index "Land Petitions of Upper Canada, 1763-1865" for "Gilmor." The results reflected: Gilmore, George W., Belleville (place), 1836 (year), vol. 212, bundle G 19, petition no. 56, reference RG 1 L3, microfilm no. C-2035. Robert's original petition, Belleville (place) 1821 (year), vol. 529, bundle W 13, petition 20, RG 1 L3, microfilm no. C-2954. Digitally, his short is at image 987. Robert Watson had a second petition, Belleville (place), 1828 (year), vol. 530A, bundle W 15, petition no. 40 RG 1 L3, microfilm no. C-2956. Begins at image no. 560. Found in marriage records, William S. Gilmore, age 39, born in Canada, marriage in April 1882, Ontario, to Coombs. His parents' names are given as George W. and Elizabeth Gilmore--likely the son of the above Gilmore. [https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/7921/images/ONMS932_45-0472]
	Death cert of William S. Gilmore verifies that his mother was Elizabeth Watson, but indicates his father's birth in the U.S., mother in Ireland. https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/2701161:8946 Death cert of William S.

Immigration	1840 [7, 8]
	Compiled evidence indicates the family came between 1839 (Maria's birth in Ireland) and 1842 (Thomas's birth in Canada). Additionally, the Cairns book (Roy Cairns, history of the Cairns family, including Samuel Cairns and wife Maria Gilmour), states that Maria immigrated with her family when she was 9 months old and the journey took 9 weeks. Since she was born in August 1839, that puts their date of immigration at roughly May-June 1841. They seem to have left County Sligo when it was at its peak, before the Great Famine of 1845-1847. The population of the county peaked in 1841 at 181,000. By 1851, due to the Famine, population had dropped to 50,000. Often, origins can be determined by family religion. The Presbyterians were usual former Scots, while other protestants were generally of English descent. Native Irish and Normans were usually Catholic. Sligo has always been primarily agricultural, though it was also an important port in the 1700s and 1800s.
HISTORICAL	1841	Province of Canada
	Upper and Lower Canada are united as the Province of Canada.
Residence	7 Apr 1842	Scarborough, York County, Ontario, Canada [9]
	Thomas Gilmore was born on this date, and his deposition claims his birth was in Scarborough. In 1850 Scarborough became a township. It later (much later) became a municipality in the new Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, then still later was incorporated as a city. Today it is no longer an individual municipality, but is part of the amalgamated city of Toronto. Records available for Scarborough are later than the known residence of the Gilmore family: Council proceedings from 1850 Assessment rolls from 1853
HISTORICAL	1844	Haldimand County, Ontario, Canada, USA
	In 1844 the Haldimand Tract was surrendered by Six Nations [Indian cession?] to the Crown.
Residence	15 Oct 1844	Haldimand County, Ontario, Province of Canada
	Jane Ann claimed birth in Dunnville, Haldimand County.
Residence	11 Aug 1846	Brantford, Brant County, Ontario, Canada [10, 11]
	At the time of son Charles' birth. Charles named Brantford, Ontario, as his place of birth in 1846. The town of Brantford was created in 1847, but was probably a village previous to that time. However, Brant Co wasn't created until 1851, from Wentworth and Halton counties.
Possible Census	1851	Clark, Durham County, Canada West

DNA note	5 Jul 2014	23 & Me
	Calvin shares a 42 cM match on chromosome 1 with Denise Plunkett, on 23&Me. Her email: "Hi Janis, I think my DNA connection with your husband would be back around Sligo, Roscommon, or Mayo. My paternal great grandparents were all from Roscommon. My paternal grandmother's parents James Elwood, b. 1807 & Mary Beirne, b. 1812 were from around Croghan, Co. Roscommon. My paternal grandfather's parents were Thomas Plunkett, b. abt 1818 and Elizabeth McDermottroe, b. abt. 1820. They were married in Ballaghaderreen, Co. Roscommon, however at the time of their marriage in 1841 the Mayo / Roscommon went through Ballaghaderreen, and Sligo is only a mile or two away. Elizabeth McDermott(roe)'s mother was a Elizabeth Costello, b. abt. 1800, thought to be from Sligo. I think all my great-grandparents emigrated in the 1840s, except for Elizabeth McDermottroe Plunkett. Her four children were born during the famine, 1842-1849, and according to my grandfather's obit, they emigrated after his father died in Ireland, when my grandfather was about 9 yrs. (1856). They went to the area around Downie, Perth Co., Ontario in the mid 1850s, to join Elizabeth's McDermott family. By 1870 my ggrandmother must have died in Canada and the four children moved to Iowa. Here is what I found checking genomes, I also checked them with my brother John and nephew Christopher: Comparison Half IBD # segments George Calvin Gilmore vs. Denise Plunkett 41 cM 1 (We matched on chromosome # 1) George Calvin Gilmore vs. John Plunkett 0 cM 0 George Calvin Gilmore vs. Christopher Plunkett 0 cM 0 _______________________ Janis, you sound very knowledgable about genetic genealogy. Last week someone I matched with gave me the name of a book: Genetic Genealogy by Mary Aulicino. I ordered it from Amazon, it is very recent, compares the companies 23 & Me, FTDNA and Ancestry, I joined all three around December. I hope I can get a better understanding of the basics!

RESEARCH	Message, Spring 2013, from Cathi Becker Wiest Desmairis, Certified Genealogist, via FaceBook: "I looked at the Anglican church records available, and they start quite late in County Sligo, for the most part. I did some searching in the IFHF church record indexes and I didn't find anything early enough for your Gilmores. There were Thomases and Georges, but they were later than yours. I did find only ONE Thomas Gilmor in the tithe applotment records in County Sligo. He was listed in 1833, which makes the timing right for your Thomas who married prior to 1829. He lived in the Townland of Barnacoghil, in Parish Templeboy, County Sligo. This might be your husband's ancestor. This townland is very small and close to the ocean. Check Google maps. There is an 1839 Directory of the Towns of Sligo and others, but this might just be the major towns. It might be worth looking for that when you are there. The best Irish records are the landlords' estate records. The rent rolls that some of these contain are golden. There were Reid/Reed families in County Sligo also. Parish Toomour had both Gilmore and Reed families, which is significant. Kidney/Kidny/Kedney is a very unusual Irish name. Most of them came from County Cork. Perhaps she married in Canada. Given the early time period they left, their religion, and the fact that you've already consulted others, I don't know that I can add much more. Many of the Anglican records were destroyed in 1922. In Sligo the Catholic records are better. If you've exhausted everything on this side of the pond, including searching for the neighbors' Irish origins, then it would probably take some serious digging in any landlords records to hope to find anything. I did find that the name stems from Mac Giolla Mhir. Several of the Gilmore families in the tithe applotment records used the given name Gowan. That is a Scottish surname. When you are there, particularly in Parish Templeboy and Parish Toomour, don't be afraid to ask for local folks named Gilmore. Let me know if you decide to go to Doolin in County Clare and I will give you the B&B name. Cath"

Married 1828 Diocese of Killala and Achonry, County Sligo, Ireland [21, 22]

Note on the transcription website:
"From medieval times it was required that notification of intention to marriage be given on three consecutive Sundays in church (called publishing the banns). But, as an alternative, members of the Church of Ireland could take out a Marriage Licence Bond. The parties lodged an amount of money with the Diocese to indemnify the Church against there being an obstacle to the marriage. This marriage by licence provided privacy, and was faster than the time taken to read the banns. It was considered more prestigious than having the banns read. The bonds themselves were destroyed in the Fires of 1922, but the indexes remain in the National Archives of Ireland. After 1845 marriages were registered by the State, and are available to researchers. This diocese is in Co. Mayo and Co. Sligo."

Narrative
