Personal Information | Media | Sources | All | PDF

Name	Joseph Gilmore [1]
Born	15 Dec 1848	New York, USA [1, 2, 3]
	Joseph's death certificate gives his birth as 15 December 1858. There are several typos on the certificate (including the misspelling of "Wayne" County). Alternately, someone may have subtracted wrong. Birthplace is difficult to read on the death certificate, but appears to have said "Unknown," which has been marked out. The second word is "Yok." I'm guessing the "New" was typed over "Unknown" and "Yok" should have been "York." As in birth in New York state. The family was known to reside in New York state for a period from the time Charles (b 1846) was young, and Charles was still young when they moved back to Canada (see Charles's deposition in George W's pension file). It is likely, given this fragile evidence, that Joseph was born in New York State.

Father	Thomas Gilmore, b. Abt 1800-1803, County Sligo, Ireland , d. 16 Feb 1887, South Norwich, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada (Age ~ 84 years)
Mother	Mary Reed, b. About 1808, County Sligo, Ireland , d. 26 May 1885, South Norwich, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada (Age ~ 77 years)
Married	1828	Diocese of Killala and Achonry, County Sligo, Ireland [12, 13]
	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	George W. Gilmore's pension file states that Thomas and Maria Gilmore had 10 children. When their names and dates were transcribed into the new family Bible, they only transcribed the names of those who were living. Nothing is known of the other three children.

Family Carrie T. Booth, b. 17 Nov 1855, Wisconsin, USA , d. 13 Apr 1928, Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan, USA (Age 72 years)

Married 25 Nov 1871 Saginaw County, Michigan, USA [2, 14]

That this is the right Joseph Gilmore is confirmed by his age, as well as by the fact that "Chas" Gilmore and Carrie L. Booth served as witnesses to the marriage of Charles W.Gilmore and Kate Eva Lovelock earlier in the year, also in Saginaw Co. It is clear that the witnesses name was recorded wrong, and should have been Joseph--since Charles could not have witnessed his own wedding.
