MOORE Families?

[Tiffaney]

    

Looking  for MOORE families who lived in the Isle of Man.

The furtherest back I have gone is James Moore born c1775
who married an Elizabeth COPP  born 1782 Brixham in 1808 Brixham Devon.

Their children were all born in Seaton & Beer Devon.

My cousin has just told me there were three boys who were orphaned & were looked after in Seaton & Beer Devon.  One went to USA;
one to Australia and our Wm Henry Moore came to New Zealand.

James & Elizabeth MOORE's Children:

1. Elizabeth MOORE chr: 19 Feb 1809
2. Esther MOORE chr: 20 Jan 1811
3. James Copp MOORE chr: 1813
4. Sarah MOORE b: 1815
5. William Henry MOORE  b: 1818 m: Elizabeth GEMPTON b: 1818
6.  Elizabeth MOORE b: 1821
7.  Hannah MOORE chr: 27 Oct 1824

Would be most grateful for any info. or help with the above.

Thank you,
Tiffaney

I have a 2nd great grandfather b. abt 1825, IOM, who is found in USA by 1850.  I have no clue to his parents' names.  Which brother went to USA?

Moore was the 7th most common name for head of family in 1881 Manx census - there are many many Moores - about 5 James a decade baptised - for some of the main families see http://www.manxnotebook.com/famhist/families/awm1889/index.htm

Yes. These Moores are a headache to me.  See my inquiry under new topic today.  Also, the link above is to a great site but the "n" was left off of manxnnotebook.

Thanks for your reply.

William Henry Moore came to New Zealand with his wife Elizabeth (MS Gempton) and their four children.
I also have a Charles Henry Moore who lived in Okain's Bay, Banks Peninsula.

Many more details & some pics are on my forum which you can join by clicking far left.

Sorry but don't know yet as he is part of my query.  It's a bit of a mystery re the boys orphaned on IOM.

Francis many thanks for your interesting info on Moores being the 7th most common name for head of family in 1881 Manx census  -alas, can see they will not be an easy find.
Thankyou so much for the link you have given me...appreciated.
