Title: John Moore born in Forres?
Post by: Headgirl on Thursday 16 May 13 20:26 BST (UK)

Im looking for a birth record for John Moore b1798-1800 possibly in Forres? His mother I believe was Helen Warden b1779 in Forres and married John Moore 5 Jun 1798. Any details of date,location and possible siblings would be most helpful. Thanks.

I hadnt no, but Ive looked on the link you provided and no luck unfortunately. Im not 100% sure where he was born but was using Forres as a starting point as this is where his parents married. It seems that his father was in the Army (15th reg of foot) so they could have moved on after marrying.
