  Born	10 Jul 1856	Otterville, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada   [1, 2]
  Gender	Female
  Residence	Abt 1860  [3]
  	Theresa's great grandchild Wray Lamb states " I understand she lived with her grandparents starting at the age of 2-4." This is consistent with census data.
  Funeral Notice	17 Mar 1957	Ottawa, Canada   [4]
  	Funeral notice, unidentified clipping. "Passes In 101st Year; Funeral Here Today Mrs. Wallace Forman passed away at Ottawa on Sunday, in her 101st year. She was a former resident of the fourth [sic] concession, Enniskillen. The funeral service will be held in the Black funeral chapel, Alvinston, on Wednesday afternoon, with interment [sic] in the Alvinston cemetery. She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Wallace Brydges, Enniskillen, and two sons, Melville, Ottawa, and Ralph, Pontiac, Mich."
  Parents	In Theresa Gilmore's marriage record her parents are named as "James and Eiza Ann Gillmore." In the marriage record, her age calculates to a birth year of 1856--close enough to the 1857 calclulated birth year of Theresa Gillmore found in the home of Thomas and Mary Gilmore in 1871. This supports the likelihood that Theresa was the daughter of James Gilmore and granddaughter of Thomas Gilmore.  [1, 5]

  	Theresa died at the home of her son Melvin R. Forman, at this address.
