Cumberland / Moordaff Family
« on: Friday 27 April 18 00:47 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
My great-grandmother's maiden name was the slightly inelegant 'Moordaff'. I have unearthed this part of my family back to Harold Moordaff (1885-1937), through George Moordaff (1846-1925), through George Moordaff (1809-1873), to yet another George Moordaff, who married Margaret Armstrong. Some people on Ancestry have this George as being born in 1761 and dying in 1849, and Margaret b. 1770 and d. 1859, but no one has provided sources for these claims. They also describe that George as a merchant seaman or mariner. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
James Morton
