1718 Migration to the USA

Very few people in this area would be able to trace their family back that far

Thankyou, both. Is there a local paper with good reach you could suggest, please? Probably from Limavady towards Coleraine. I emailed a Limavady group to try and find out if anyone was researching Moores but had no reply.

Thankyou. The information on Tristram is from Australian records and his birth year was backtracked from age at death. The other information is largely from Australian records and Peter Mayberry did excellent research on the transportation of the Irish to Australia. Sadly there doesn't appear to be any Irish records showing his date and place of birth, parents and siblings which is what I would love to discover.

The Manor of Limavady information is very interesting. Through the 1800s there were Moores in Carrowclare and Carrowreagh per land records and Wills, and including some Tristram Moores. So does below read that an Edward Moore from Carrowclare went to New England in 1718 and replaced a John Boule who was going and didn't? Or did John Boule go and his land was given to an Edward Moore?

Is the Manor of Limavady  information from the Connolly Papers publicly available or only if you pay PRONI for research in the case of the Connolly Papers which I have tried to track previously.

I was recently in Limavady and asked about the Manor document but no-one seemed to know where it was.

John Boyle emigrated to America and was replaced by John Moore who was a tenant in Carrowclare.

The Connoly Papers in PRONI are rather limited in scope and generally only lists the larger tenants on the estate.

[MarilynL]

Gorinanima, may I clarify. Did Moore replace Boyle on Boyle's land/tenancy or in some other role?

If on the land / as tenant does that mean the tenancy in Carrowclare was large?

Last Oct I looked at the land in Carrowclare and Carrowreagh which Moores occupied per Griffiths in 1850s.
