Tristram Moore born Derry about 1760-1770

[MarilynL]

Can anyone advise if birth / christening records survive from about 1760-1770 for Derry, please? Tristram Moore was convicted as a rebel at Newton Derry and transported to Australia arriving in October 1802 on Atlas 2. He was likely a Protestant and I don't know which parish. One hundred years later in Drumachose there were Moores in Carrowreagh and Carrowclare including 1800-1850 a Tristram Moore and his son with same name. I don't know if they are related to my Tristram Moore. Any suggestions to investigate records for mid 1700's will be appreciated.

Hello, and welcome to roots chat.

I found this information from a periodical magazine? Historical Studies, Vol 16, Australia, you may already have this:
"Tristram Moore was a Presbyterian of Broughton (or Ballyorum?), in Co. Derry and about 30 years old when he was sentenced to death by court-martial at Newton Derry in July 1798 for being a United Irishman and a captain in the rebel army." His sentence was commuted and he was transported to Australia in 1802.

I don't recognize place name Broughton or Ballyorum, the Newton referred to is probably Newton Limavady  , the Newton has since been dropped from the name.

He may also be the Tristram Moore mentioned in the Belfast Newsletter of 21st Sept. 1798, I don't have full access to that record, I think it uses character recognition software so is difficult to read

I don't see any church records for him but if he was Presbyterian the chances of a birth record from the 1700's is highly unlikely.

 Tristram Moore born 1818 married  in the Limavady in 1850, father Solomon, possible relation

Hi, just another piece of information
A Tristram Moore appears in the Flax Growers Bounty list farming in the parish Tamlaght Finlagan in which Broighter is a townland in 1796 he received one wheel in the bounty.Quite a few Moores also appear in the townlands of Carrowreagh/Clare in the 1740 protestant census
