    Parents Elizabeth/Eliza (Gilmore) Kidney is identified as a sister of Thomas Gilmore who married Mary Read.

    First it is necessary to illustrate the link between Maria Gilmore and her parents Thomas Gilmore and Mary Read:
    • Maria (Gilmore) Cairns died in February 1900, "age 60," calculating to a birth year of 1839 or 1840
    • Maria Gilmore was born on 6 August 1839. She died around 1900
    • Brother Charles Gilmore mentioned his "Aunt Kidney" in his 1906 affidavit
    • A narrative on the Samuel Cairns family tells this story of his meeting with his wife, Maria Gilmore, who worked at the local hotel:" At that time a man by the name of Kidney run it and did quite a business there. A young Irish girl worked there by the name of Myria Gilmoure, a niece of Mrs. Kidney."
    • Maria (Gilmore) Cairns was born in Ireland
    • Maria Gilmore was born in Ireland, according to her sister Jane Ann


    From that point, a history of Nasagiweya township, Halton County, mentioned the James Kidney who ran the hotel around that time.

    Their cemetery markers in Campbellville, of that township, names "Eliza Gilmore" as wife of James Kidney. Additional data through death certs, census, demonstrates the remainder.  [5, 6, 7, 8
    Died 26 Apr 1887  [1
