Find Ancestors

i am trying to find any information on william walter gilmore, born 1874 or 1875, in whitehaven cumberland i think. he married isabella margaret corlett in workington cumberland in 1904. his father was william gilmore from the isle of man, a miner, (c1851-1882) who died in whitehaven.

Is this the father William Gilmore who dies aged 31 in 1882 ?
In which case he should be on 1881 census

Note the spelling.

WILLIAM GEORGE GILMOUR
Male
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Event(s):
Birth:
Christening: 02 MAR 1851 Braddan, Isle Of Man, England
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parents:
Father: WILLIAM GILMOUR
Mother: GERMAN

Hi, i came across his marriage in the local (workington cumbria) library. I already have my gr. grandmothers (isabella gilmore) family on my tree, but this looked as if she had a son i didnt know anything about. He gives my gr. grandmothers address in workington as his residence, his fathers name and occupation match as well. and one of his witnesses is margaret johnston, ( margaret jane gilmore married a johnston) He doesnt appear on any census with them.. in the uk any way. I have seen lots of gilmores in the isle of man, but havent found anything yet, even a family of Gilmores next door to a family of Tears, my gr. grandmothers maiden name??You can have access to my tree if it helps, Doreen

If young William was born 1874 he possibly arrived before the wedding of his parents.

Marriages Dec 1874

Gilmarore William Whitehaven 10b 1058
Tear Isabella Whitehaven 10b 1058

Hi yea, thats all my family (my name is Mathers) I just cant find William (c1874) on any census, not in the uk anyway. I found a family of Gilmores on the isle of man, next door to a family of Tears (isabella gilmores maiden name)

If the Isabella Gilmore (nee Tear) shown on the 1881 census is correct, she was born in Ireland.
Her husband on that census is 36 so can't be the William who died the following year aged 31.

hi, i think this must be just guess work on the census entry, i have come accross this a lot. Isabella was definitely a widow when she married my gr. grandad james mathers in 1885. and i have seen william gilmores burial record at whitehaven, that could even be wrong.

You need to obtain the death cert to see who the next of kin/ informant is to be sure it's the right person.

thank you to all who replied, ive now tracked william walter down through isleofman.comheritage. Doreen
