James Gilmore and Margaret Kilroy "Foxford parish in or near the town of Cloongee"
James Gilmore "born in the parish of Foxford in or near the town of Cloongee on th County of Mayo by trade a labourer aged 19 years" attested for army service, 63rd Regiment of footat Castlebar 28/3/1821. He was discharged 31/3/1837, pension records state intended place of residence - Foxford. Pension record 22/11/1837 states place of residence "155 Castlebar", some other pensioners had similar addresses such as "157 Castlebar". (Pension record show transfer to Wolverhampton UK 1847)
I'd like to find the baptism record for James, born 1802 or 1803. Although UK census records suggest the date could be 1800 or 1801.
Where is/was the Castlebar address - could it be that he and some other pensioners lived in the Castlebar garrison?
James married Margaret Kilroy, who on UK census shows she was also born in County Mayo. Is there a record of this marriage?
James and Margaret had a daughter Mary Ann born in Castlebar 1st June 1842. Is there a record of this or of her baptism?
Y(ears of birth for James and Margaret are unclear - The UK 1851 census shows James aged 45, Margaret aged 25 and daughter Ann aged 6 in Dudley.The UK 1861 census states James is 60, Margaret's age is undecipherable perhaps 41, Ann is 16 and James has been born in Dudley now aged 9.)
I would appreciate any information or advice to trace this part of my family tree.
