Gilmore/Gillmore Family Ireland

... but he returned to Boghead House when he retired in 1849 and died there in 1863 & buried Green Island, Carnmoney.

Griffith's Valuation shows a J. Albert Gilmore occupying a house, offices and garden in West Division, Carrickfergus, the local printing date was 1861, looking at the associated old map, it looks right on the money for Green Island (Greenisland).

There is a burial record to indicate that a 76 year old Albert Gillmore of Greenisland who died on 16 June 1863 was buried in Muckamore parish. Where did you see the reference to Gilmore being buried at Greenisland?

The newspaper notice (reply #2) doesn't indicate where he was buried.

See reply #8 for location of Greenisland in West Division townland.

Yes, I was aware of that, West Division covers a massive area (largest townland in County Antrim and also one of the biggest in Ireland) and Greenisland then was a very small place within that townland, the point I was making is that while the Griffith's Valuation listing places him in West Division, the associated map reference corroborates him living specifically in Greenisland.

The clarification was for the OP who isn't familiar with the area

Thank you for your continued help.  I found the burial for Joseph Albert Gillmore through Ulster Historical Society which gave his address as Greenisland, Carnmoney.  It is under his name of Albert Gillmore which is how he was known.

Yes, that entry in Lennon Wylie Directory states Colonel Gilmore was nobility and gentry but apparently this just means it was a well off family and so not in Burke's Peerage.
I cannot afford to pay 19 pounds an hr for research and PRONI charges 48 pounds an hr. I am afraid converting the Australian dollar makes those charges even more horrendous. Death Registrations were after 1863 in Ireland weren't they?   It is a shame I can't get back further by finding his parents names. He had such a fascinating career starting with The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, 1805 West Indies Regiment, received medals for fighting in  wars in all the Peninsular Wars and then finally was one of six colonels that 1817/18 took regiments to fight in Venezuela against the Spanish. It has proved to be such interesting research with him mentioned in many books. He spent his last 28 years as Barrack Master in various towns in UK and Scotland before retiring  to Boghead. I presume he came from there because a John Gilmore lived there prior to him.

Gaffy has already confirmed that he was buried in Muckamore Parish.

Registration of deaths started in 1864.
