The Griffith's index on failteromhat.com shows 21 Gilmores in Mayo, along with their civil parishes. The Irish Family History Foundation Web site shows a Mary Gilmore daughter of John born in 1852 and Ann daughter of John born in 1854. You could pay 5 euros apiece to get the parishes for those births, or you could plug in the parishes from the Griffith's index, one by one, and see if you get a match. Once you have the parish, you can probably get the baptisms/christenings from church records filmed by the LDS. If your relatives were Church of Ireland (CofI) the civil parish will correspond to the CofI parish, but if they were Catholic, the name of the parish could well be different.
