Moore of Drumachose

[dunvr]

Alexander Moore and William Moore were Flax Growers in 1796 at Drumachose, Limavady

Does Anyone have genealogical data on them and their descendants? Can they connect to below Samuel Moore?

My G G G grandparents Samuel & Jane Moore lived at Newtown, Limavady, Samuel still farmed there in 1858.

I'd like to get further info on their family and ancestors. Known Children:

Probably there were other children of Samuel and Jane. I'd like to know more if anyone can add.

Anne Jane Moore and John A Norris held a farm in Colraine called Colebreene before they came to Australia about 1880

Any hep appreciated on extending the Moore of Drumachose family tree in Ireland

Hi thanks for the info on Albert Moore which matches what I have. Also read somewhere he may have owned a hotel? I would be interested in any further info if you have it as there maybe a descendant out there and that person may have info on Anne Jane Moore, Albert's mother and my G G grandmother. Thanks for looking for the info. Hopefully someone else will have some clues on the other Moore's.

Wow, that is great you've found another son James Moore bp in 1822, many thanks. If only somewhere there was Jane's maiden name listed. Any clues on Samuel Moore's birth?

I saw a marriage in 1819 Samuel Moore to Jane Black but this Samuel was from a different area.

Any mention of baptisms of further children?

[Gortinanima]

Mother's maiden name was not given.

I got the information from the IGI which contains
a transcript of the Christchurch records [secondary source].
There are errors of course with every transcript.

Albert Moore owned a hotel in Garvagh (listed as Hotel Proprietor in 1911 census)- established Imperial Hotel in 1887- hotel closed at present but bar is still open. Here's a link to photo- www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1373268

Albert Moore also owned a jaunting car which took peaople back and forth to Garvagh station, etc. He was the man who found the hammer used in the Berryman murder in 1906 (had brought police investigating the crime to the scene outside Garvagh and while waiting about found murder weapon buried in the midden).

Have copy of old photo of hotel - if you want copy send me your email address by PM and I'll try to scan it. Also have a fairly good picture of Albert Moore.

Don't know of any descendants in Garvagh area but can enquire locally.

I wonder does this indicate there are going to be descendants of James and Thomas Moore in NZ?
