Sir John Moore family

[frederickay]

Is there any chance Sir John Moore of the Peninsula wars tho born in Scotland had connections to the ancient family of Moore who owned Kentwell Hall at Long Melford .Suffolk as quoted in a magazine  I read  dated Nov . @21st 1838.
In Sept 1800 the owner of the house was Richard Moore Esq.
The property became the property of Hart Logan m.p. .
Also could i have Sir John Moores London address ?
I am trying to see if he was friends with Brigade Major Charles Jones of the 15th Hussars . Brigade Major Jones was born in Sudbury >Suffolk.near Long  Melford
i have read a report that puts them together at Sir John's death .
Thanks >

Hi Jan,
         That Richard Moore sold Kentwell 1823 & died bankrupt in a debtor's prison.The numerous John Moores are connected with the building of Appleby School.If you 'google Moore Family Pedigree' quite a lot comes up-I'm trying to get info on the Robert Moores after 1747 to see if there's a connection on my G.Fathers side if you find anything??Good Luck

Hi Jan,

Are you a relation of Sir John Moore? The Sir John Moore b.1761 and died in the Spanish War 1809?

Buried amongst my family notes, my mother in laws family is reputed to be related to him.

I have an Agnes Muir/Moore (the spellings are often changed I've noticed) unsure of birth date but died in 1929. Her father is a James Muir a coalminer, married Hannah McKay in 1853 in Barony, Lanarkshire. Hannah McKay came from a wealthy background but it seems James Muir did not.

Just thought I would reply to see if you had any information and by the very slim chance had further information on the Muir/Moore families.

Thanks!
