Updating this post. Still looking for a William Moore, blacksmith in Ballycastle. He was noted as this in an 1854 deed selling a lease near Martinstown north of Broughshane. The 1861 Griffiths valuation shows a William Moore senior and Wm. Moore junior leasing land in Townparks, Ramoan parish, Ballycastle and then two more William Moores (no notes as to Sr. or Jr.) as tenants on Castle Street, Ballycastle. From a thread I just closed/completed there was a Sarah Moore who died in 1880, wife of Matthew Moore who died earlier and living on Castle Street when she died. They had a son William also on Castle Street, who died in 1900 a bachelor. So these are not my Moores.
But is Wm. Moore Senior listed in the 1861 Griffiths Valuation my William and who was his wife? (I'm trying to establish a relation between the Wm. Moore, blacksmith in Ballycastle and his "partner" Moses Paul of Knockanully who sold a one year lease for a corn mill in Knockanully to a John McCaughey in 1854. I think Moore and Paul were brother in laws.)
