MOORE in Longfield West

[bmoore]

Is anyone searching the MOORE families in Longfield West? I have noted the MOOREs in early records (1796, Tithe Applotment; Griffiths.
There are quite a few families in Ednashanlaght townland - noted in Find my Past records.

I have a DNA match with William MOORE & Sarah DAVIS (6 children in 1901 census) in nearby Bomackatall. Later a number of children settled in Paisley Scotland.

My James MOORE (born 1828; married Jane GIVINS in 1853 & came to Sydney Australia in 1856/7). Both James & Jane lived in Drumrawn; married Drumquin.
James' parents were James MOORE & Mary COULTER - both born about 1800 I guess, but dead - so James said - by 1856/7. James' obituary here in Sydney said he was born in Portadown?

In Griffiths in Drumrawn is Arthur MOORE.
I have found a Mary & William MOORE wh could be my James' siblings.

Does any of this ring bells with anyone? I realise with limited records it is hard to link people/families up!!! Cheers Barbara
