Moore of Back Townland, Myroe

[helleborine]

I am searching for Mark Moore or Mark B Moore born 1888. In 1911 he was a postman living in Back Townland, Myroe near Limavady. He was a sergeant in the 10th Inniskilling Fusiliers, was wounded in July 1916 at the Battle of the Somme but apparently survived. Probably went to England but where?

Hi,
   I don't know if this is relevant but a MARCUS Moore married Ethel McLaughlin on 31 Jan 1935 in Myroe Presbyterian Church.

Regards

Unfortunately families reuse names. Marcus Moore was a nephew of Mark B Moore. Thanks for that anyway.

Mark (or Marcus) Moore b 1888 in Back, Myroe had 12 siblings. I have traced all except Mark after 1916 and Mary Orr Moore (or Minnie) b 1872 who disappears after being in Strabane in 1901 census.
Thanks for the links.

Dont know if it will help but i remember some time back on RootsChat a reference being made to Postal workers records,i have no idea where but they appear to exist not sure of time frame either but something to possibly look into.

Thanks for the link but the many small subpost offices run from a family's home were not usually part of the post office establishment.
