Hi,
I am not related to any of these people - just helping you solve your mystery. I found these records on familysearch.org
I found a 1930 census with a Jennie Gilmore married to a Stephen Gilmore with two sons, Stephen and Thomas.Shows Jennie's husband as a servant of the head person (Samuel Houston)
Here is the record:

Stephen D Gilmore M 15
Thomas Gilmore M 11
So I tried looking for a marriage record for the two between 1913 (the year she immigranted ) and 1915 (year Stephen D was born) and I found this record (not sure why it shows stgilmore, may have been a goof up by indexer or person that entered the data on the marriage certificate)
showing a Gilmore marrying a Jennie Wilson in 1913.There is another record that shows a Stephen Stgilmore marrying a Wilson in 1913 (there must be a bride record and a groom record).
Groom's Name: Stgilmore

I did find a death record for a Jennie Gilmore in Philadelphia in 1970 but the birth date is different than the other records I found so I am not sure though maybe the census record has 39 and it looks like a 34.Norristown is a suburb of Philadelphia ( just 6 miles away).
