Hello folks,
I have been following the recent conversation with interest but sadly not able to add anything constructive. If anyone finds a clue to Mary S. Moore born 1809 Londonderry. She married into the Shannon family of Derrybeg/Limavady by being William [k. or Cochrane] Shannon second wife at Londonderry in 1839.
There is a possibility that William Alexander Moore is related to the above Mary. He was born circa 1831 [in Ireland?] and his father is said to be Andrew Moore. William married Susannah Campbell in 1859 in Trura South Australia.
Susannah is possible the Sister in law of John Moody of Gortmore Hall/House Londonderry.

Hi,
   Some years ago, 2008 I think, there was a very long topic on the Moodys of Gortmore, Magilligan which mentioned Truro in Australia.

Hello again,
yes.
I have seen this post and gleaned as much from it as i have been able for my interests in the Shannon, Moody, Hopkins families. The Moore angle intrigues me as we know bugger all. Thus my interest in this resurrected conversation.
The possible Moody connection is thru the Campbell girls-
John Moody b.1816.d.1885.m.1851 Margamenaphan Presbyterian church. Mary Campbell b.1825 Yorkshire - to America 1843? then to Australia 1851.
Similar dates to William Alexander Moore.bc.1831 Ireland.m.1859 Truro,  Susannah Campbell.b.?.d.1874 Truro SA.
Cheers

I am unable to add anything re the Moore discussion but would like to make a correction to the last post. John Moody did indeed marry Mary Campbell but the marriage took place in MAGILLIGAN Presbyterian Church on 8th July 1851. The marriage was reported in the Londonderry Sentinel. Mary was the daughter of William Campbell of Benone. According to my information he was a Scot who had migrated to Magilligan. Mary was born 10th June 1826 in Yorkshire.
