Francis J. MOORE - Athlone & possibly India
« on: Friday 17 March 17 17:26 GMT (UK) »
Hello

I am trying to find out about Francis J. MOORE, the son of Alfred William MOORE a soldier in the 49th Regiment and his wife Rebecca nee ALDERDICE (married Belfast 1864).  Francis was born in Athlone in 1865 but I would like to find his birth or baptism record, if anyone can help please.

Alfred William's regiment went to India and he and Rebecca had a daughter Mary Ellen, born Deesa, Gujarat 1868, buried Deesa 5 September 1869.  Their other (known) children were born 1873 onwards in England.

I have found the death record of a Francis MOORE DQ 1889 aged 24 (therefore born 1865) in the
Ireland Civil Registration Death Index (on Ancestry).  This gives the Registration District as Secunderabad.  Is it possible to get a certificate for this entry if it was in India?

I'd welcome some ideas about how to proceed please.

Melbell  :)
