John Gil(l)more
Hi
I have a John Gillmore who left England on a ship to the US with his father Edward Gillmore.Edward left behind his wife Ellen and daughter Margaret, presumably for a better life.I think the intention was his wife and daughter would follow later.Although family talk says that his wife refused to go due to her fear of water.
There is also another story that while on the ship, Edward went to someone's rescue and he was stabbed and died.
I am after any information on John once he arrived in the US, and if there is any record of Edward's murder.
John was born in 1879 in Walsall, Staffordshire.I believe they travelled between 1891 and 1901.
thanks
