Humphrey’s brother JAMES

On page 13 of Marvin’s correspondence he states that James is a brother of Humphrey and has at least three children, Henry, Humphrey, and Margaret.  Ralph doesn’t list James as a brother of Humphrey, but he does account for James in his “Gillmores of Sligo County” as James of Stonehall, and lists two of his children, Henry and Margaret.

According to Ancestry.com, Ireland, Catholic Parish Registers, James Gillmore married Mary Kearns on 11 Nov 1836, Killenummery, Sligo and Leitrim, Ireland.  The same source shows that their daughter Margaret’s parents are James Gillmore and Mary Kearns.  James would likely have been born before 1817.

I haven’t found any information on their son Humphrey.

Ralph shows their son Henry Gillmor of Stonehall, born about 1837.  He married Elizabeth Jenks on September 18, 1862 in Sligo, Ireland.  Elizabeth was born circa 1844 in Ballysadare, Sligo, Ireland.  Ralph shows they had two children William born in Stonehall, Ballysadare, Sligo, Ireland on September 4, 1865, and Humphry Gillmore of Stonehall born in Stonehall, Ballysadare, Sligo, Ireland on November 10, 1867.  Marvin’s information, page 13, lists Hannah’s siblings “Henry Simpson Gilmore and Henrietta Gilmore, still living there around the old place; plus three brothers in Australia; and a sister in England; and a sister living “in Wicklow”. My own further research shows that Henry first married Elizabeth Jenks and had:

William Born in 1865, died in Australia in 1930.

Humphry Born Sligo, 1867, died in Australia in 1955, married Jane Mary Meredith, and had two boys, Robert Henry 1903 to 1958, and William Meredith 1904 to Unknown.

Hessie 1870 and Eliza 1872, and John 1875 and Jane 1877.

Henry’s wife Elizabeth died in 1878 and he married Sarah Jane Sleator in1881.  They had Fanny 1884, Hannah 1886, Lillie 1888, Henry Simpson 1890, and Henrietta in 1893.

Ralph shows that James’ daughter “Margaret Gilmore was born in Ballysadare, Sligo, Ireland before 1841.  She married Thomas Pettipiece on June 3, 1858 in Callooney, Ballysadare, Sligo, Ireland.  Thomas was born before 1838 in of Cloonacurrah, Ballysadare, Sligo, Ireland.  Further research shows that they had one son James Pettipiece born in 1858, and his mother, Margaret died in 1866.  Thomas Pettipiece remarried Fanny Irwin and they had at least six children.
