Blackmore from Galway

[Lindybnz]

Hi group.
I am wanting to make contact with of find someone who has information on the Blackmore family from Galway. in 1901 they live at 9 Henry Street [Galway West Urban, Galway].
In 1901 16 year old Frederick and 17 year old Thomas Blackmore set sale on the Anchoria for America. I can locate Frederick in America but cannot find Thomas. In 1905 the rest of the family  Thomas [father] Mary Jane [mother] and the following children Annie, Elizabeth, Albert John, Amelia. Christopher and Francis all Leave Galway and emigrate to USA. I have tracked most of the family in America but still the son Thomas eludes me.
I am thinking he left America between 1901 and 1905 and headed for New Zealand. I have located a Thomas on the 1905 electoral rolls of NZ. He is not on previous ones. I am hoping maybe there is someone also researching this family, and they also loose this Thomas, I do not mind claming him as mine   
Thanks

Hi Linda,
I recently spotted that Blackmore family in Galway in the 1901 census when I was looking for possible relatives of my wife's great-great-grandfather, John Blackmore (c1846-1900).
This John was also a plumber (same as Thomas) and lived in Ennis, Co. Clare from the 1870's to his death. He died before the 1901 census so I didn't know where he was born originally.
His marriage cert in 1871 lists William Blackmore, an "engineer", as his father.
I noticed another Blackmore family close by in Galway (St Patrick's Ave), with the head William and his mother, Elizabeth (widowed), both born in England (as was Thomas).
I found a death cert for a William Blackmore of the same address who died in 1900 aged "80" and was an engine driver, same as the younger William.
I'm thinking that Thomas and William were my wife's ancestor John's brothers, and the older William and Elizabeth were his parents, all from England.

Do you know anymore about the Blackmores in Galway, and whether they had any relatives in Ennis? I found another Blackmore engine driver from England living in Meath in 1901 too, possibly another brother?

Thanks, Dave
