Descendants of Joseph Gilmore - Killead, Antrim

I think the Ballinderry in this case is in Co. Antrim rather than Co. Down.

Here’s Joseph Edward Gilmore’s birth in 1876:

Siblings Harriett 6.10.1877; Samuel 17.10.1878; William 9.5.1880 & John 4.11.1881.

Father was a grocer and publican in Ballymacrevan, Co Antrim. That’s in the parish of Ballinderry in Co Antrim. The Valuation revision record show him arriving on plot 19 in Ballymacrevan in 1877 and leaving in 1884.

John’s birth certificate mentions that his mother’s name as Anne Jane Gilmour, late Hopes, formerly Keyland. So she was presumably a widow when she married Jospeh.

Anne Jane Keyland married Edward Hopes on 24.12.1866 regd Lisburn. She then married Joseph Gilmore in Belfast on 18.10.1876 at Malone Presbyterian church. Her father is named as Samuel Kane, so not sure how many times she was married.

I see a marriage for Harriette Gilmore on 3.1.1912 to Robert McCreary of Leggygowan, Co. Down. Harriette in 1911:

Thanks so much for the feedback. The attached is where we had gotten the information on Kathleen's grandfather and other ancestors. We're visiting England, Scotland and Ireland in June and formulating our itinerary and weren't sure if anydistant relatives still lived in the vicinity of Belfast.
