Where is Gilmerstown?

[aghadowey]

Gilmerstown is part of a townland- I suspect Knocknaraven as there seem to be several families there (see your own post reply #16).

The transcription of the 1835 church census shows various Gilmour families resident in townlands of Oughill, Gilmerstown, Grannan, Nockaravin, and Dromore. 

[aghadowey]

Yes, read reply #16 then use google.

I know what I posted in reply #16.  I know where Knockaraven is.  Since I could not find any mention of Gilmerstown in a google search I asked as 1835 church census mentioned both Gilmerstown and Knockaraven as townland locations.  By 1864 Gilmours were in townlands of Dromore, Drumsheal, Cranny, Drumskinny and Knockaraven and no mention of Gilmerstown. 

[aghadowey]

'Gilmerstown' is most likely a part of a townland(s) in the area in or around Knockaraven.

Revised Valuation books on PRONI showed Thomas McCusker in Drumardnagross associated with 3 plots of land in 1860 and
and by 1867 he has been crossed out of the books.
An excerpt from the Irish Law Times of Dec 12 1868 shows
Thomas Cosgrove of Grennan, Tyrone previously of Knockaravin, Tyrone car driver, formerly of Drumardnagross, farmer
Petition filed 9 Dec 1868
Hearing at Omagh 05 Jan 1869
Declaring insolvency.

[cosmac]

Hearing held at Omagh in January 1869 and it was "discharged"

Aghadowey had asked if I had checked all possible deaths for Thomas.  I didn't realize that you can now purchase credits on GRONI and access more information online than the standard death indexes on ancestry which I had been using.
So far it hasn't turned up Thomas yet but I'm in early stages.

So far Thomas Cosgrove/McCusker's death between 1868 and 1890 is proving elusive.  Nothing seems to match. 
The other Thomas Cosgrove I was tracking on this thread (married to Isabella Gilmour in 1880 and moved to Scotland) that I thought was a possible son for the elder Thomas also has proven impossible to trace a death for.
