Gortmore would be the name of the townland. There are actually 2 Gortmores in Co. Tyrone listed at www.seanruad.com:
Gortmore, 216 acres, civil parish- Clogher, Clogher Poor Law Union
Gortmore, 219 acres, civil parish- Drumragh, Omagh Poor Law Union    

If it's not clear from birth certificates which is the correct one then check index of civil registrations for each birth and see what's listed for registration district (this will be the same as Poor Law Union).

To explain townlands further-
Counties are made up of parishes and parishes are made up of a group of townlands. If you are doing any research in Ireland these divisions become extremely important. For further information:
