Family History Beginners Board / Gilmore/Gillmore Family Ireland
« on: Monday 05 December 16 03:25 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I am new to Rootschat. I would like to ask if anyone can help me access my Gilmore/Gillmore family who were gentry in Co. Antrim, n. Ireland. They are not listed in Burkes Peerage for Ireland but are in Irish directories as gentry. They lived at Boghead House, Boghead which is near Muckamore. Ireland reaching out has suggested I search Antrim parish records, Connor diocese mic583/11-12, mic 1/328, cr/1/77; d1200/4 mic1/328 or Muckamore mic 583/5 t679/55-56 for the family but they are only on microfilm at the public records office in Belfast and I live in Australia. They are not on line. My 3 x gt grandfather was Colonel Joseph Albert Gillmore, born c 1785 a professional soldier in the British army and I can find a lot on him re his career but he returned to Boghead House when he retired in 1849 and died there in 1863 & buried Green Island, Carnmoney. His wife returned to her home in UK. I suspect his father may have been John Gilmore, a lawyer who also lived at Boghead House. John had a daughter Wilfreda Gilmore who married John Dunbar of Dungannon, their family were gentry too. Does anyone have copies of these microfish please or can suggest my next step. Many thanks, Vicki
