Plot thickens...
Margaret Mary Glass, daughter of Kenneth Glass & Mary, married 1886 Frederick Kaltenback and had 4 children between 1886-1898. Family appear together in records at the same time 'my' Mary Gillmore and her children are alive so this Margaret Mary Glass isn't one I'm looking for  :-\

Ah... got confused by Mary Margaret and Margaret Mary.

Am wondering if Harry Gillmore, the butler, was made up  :-\

it's not beyond the realms of possibility is it? First name of the children's father was Harry and she used her mother's maiden name. I haven't spotted a marriage for Kenneth Glass & Mary Ann Gilmore as yet...
