Lawrence_Lander OP L Joined: Mar 2018 Posts: 2 Merseyside	Interested in any information about a Captain Gilmour lived in Birkenhead around 1910 - 1930 (maybe earlier). Known house 'The Firs' Blessington (?) Road, now replaced by Gilmour Mount. May have been a director or founder of a Liverpool Insurance Company. Not known whether military or naval Captain. Built a christian meeting hall in Harrowby Road, Birkenhead. Not known whether married or any descendants. Would value any photos of the gentleman, his house, etc. Thank you.
