    1. [IRL-CAVAN] Roll Call: GILMORE and SHERIDAN, 1810 - 1855, Co. Cavan
    2. Richard McCutcheon
    3. Looking for information on/connections to 1. Elizabeth (Bessie) GILMORE (sister) birth information unknown 2. William GILMORE (her brother) b. abt. 1817, Cavan location unknown and 3. Humphrey SHERIDAN (brother) b. abt. 1810, Cavan location unknown 4. Sarah SHERIDAN (his sister) b. abt. 1815, Cavan location unknown [All Births possibly in Baileborough (eastern Cavan) area; no information on their parents.] Bessie G. married Humphrey S. - date and location details unknown They had at least two sons a) Wm. SHERIDAN, b.abt. 1839 b) Humphrey SHERIDAN, b. 9 Jun 1842 William G. married Sarah S. abt. 1849. They migrated to Canada early 1850's where their 4 children were born. Wm. was recorded as a shoemaker in Toronto in an 1856 business directory. 1861 Canadian census reports them to be Church of England. Their nephews, Wm. & Humphrey SHERIDAN, migrated to Canada, possibly at the same time or shortly afterwards, and lived with the GILMOREs and learned the shoemaking trade. Looking for information on the parents and other siblings of the older generation, including dates and locations of births, names of parents, fate of Bessie and Humphrey SHERIDAN (parents of Wm. and Humphrey). Since the boys were barely teenagers, it seems possible, if not likely, their parents were deceased. Any help sincerely appreciated. Dick McCutcheon in wintry Sault Ste Marie, ON, Canada
