Bella Moffat married Alexander Nevin alias Turner on 29th July 1902 in Ringsend Presbyterian Church. She was 19 and her brother Thomas was one of the witnesses. Alexander was living in Glasgow and working as a labourer.

We've covered this family before on several threads.
Children of Thomas Moffat (c1804-1888)
1. Thomas (c1847-1889) m. Catherine Riddle
2. Mary Jane Moffatt m.(3 May 1870 Ringsend) Alexander McDougal
? 3. Robert Moffatt (c1858) m.(29 June 1877) Sarah Carton- 12 children
? 4. James Moffat (d.1876) m.(1 Dec.1866) Margaret Arthur- 5? children
? 5. John Moffat (c1849-1930) m.(1 Oct.1872) Matilda Frizzell- 13 children
I am a descendant of Robert Moffat and Sarah Carton. I have been having a hard time figuring out Roberts siblings. I have found at least 3 Thomas Moffats who could have been related. Thanks for any help.

Robert Moffatt (1894-1956), from Craigmore and any of his family thanks
'... and any of his family' is a bit vague. Have a read through the information already posted then, if you'd like more information, please tell us exactly how we can help. For example, 'looking for details of parents and siblings' or 'trying to trace descendants.' Be aware, however, that we aren't allowed to post details of living people.

Thank you. Yes I seen the previous posts concerning the Moffatts and seen they were quite a few years ago and just wondered if anyone had any fresh information on them or their ancestors or stories etc. I understand you can't post about living people that is fair as I know Robert still has living children as does his brother Thomas
-
Was also wondering if anyone knew anything more about Robert Moffatt Seniors siblings as there are several Moffatts in the area who could all fit the bill
