Hi, I'm looking for information on George Moore, b1817, son of Thomas Moore and Sarah Cowin. He had 2 sisters, Letty and Martha. George moved to Scotland sometime in the mid 1840's with his children. We have very little information on his Irish roots so would really appreciate any help.

Hi can be difficult sourcing irish records for this period, civil reg wasnt introduced until 1864.
There is a baptism for George Moore in Drung Cavan 9th Feb 1817 parents Thomas & Sarah.
www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation shows 5 entries for Thomas Moore in Parish of Enniskeen, Townland & place name Corraneary. Union BAILIEBOROUGH. This shows Thomas having land leased from a Colonel Pratt.
I notice on various Censuses for George in Scotland/Yorkshire UK he gives his place of birth as BAILIEBOROUGH CAVAN.
He is on 1881 census in Sculcoates Union workhouse Beverley Rd Hull Yorkshire a widower age 68.
Death George Moore Oct quarter 1882 age 68 Sculcoates Yorkshire. :)
