St. Louis Gilmores
I am looking for any info on the Gilmores of St. Louis, Missouri.My grandmother was Charlotte Elizabeth Gilmore, born in 1894, in St. Louis.I know very little about her family.
She had a sister who became a nun, Sister Julia, as well as an aunt or cousin, Sister Stephanie.
She had brothers, but I can only remember a few names -Henry or Harry, George, and John.She had a sister that died in infancy, Allagunda, and possibly another sister named Florence.
Grandma said she was Pennsylvania Dutch & Irish.I know that her mother was from Ireland, as I believe Sister Stephanie was.She had mentioned that a relative, possibly her grandfather, had died in a shipwreck.
Apparently there was a fire in the St. Louis courthouse in the early 1900's & most records have been destroyed.The only bit of family info I have been able to find is Allagunda's death notice.
I'd sure appreciate any info that anyone could share.
