« on: Saturday 06 January 18 00:02 GMT (UK)  »
I am Researching Charles Henry MOORE too :-)  On his marriage & Death Cert he states his parents are William Henry MOORE & Alice Mary MCKENZIE.  Says he is born in Irwen Scotland. I also have some of his childrens birth certs which state he is born in Troon, Irvine, and co Lanark Scotland, So info is not consistant!

Ambly, you are magnificent!! Duncan is special to me because he was the only child of 2 x great grandfather and grandmother who stayed when the rest of the family went to NZ in 1858.
I would so love to find a descendant.
Thanks again
Regards Jan

Hi I'm wondering if you can tell me more about the Family that went to NZ in 1858 please? are they McKenzies? I'm searching for info on an Alice Mary MCKENZIE.
TIA

Hi, do you know that some of the Scottish that went to Nova Scotia carried on and sailed to New Zealand & Australia? I descend from a Sarah McLean who was born on the way to New Zealand. I will have to look for the info i have as it's on my other computer. But alot of the scottish settled in Waipu & there is some info on the waipu settlers website. There has also been a couple of books written about the families that came out & their Voyage.

O'Moore would make them Irish not Scottish.

Yes, maybe Charles parent's or father was from Ireland, I am yet to get that far in my research.

I agree with Forfarian, Troon could never, at any time, have been part of Lanarkshire.

The surname Moore never strikes me as being Scottish. Here in Scotland it is more likely to have been Muir, so perhaps it was "Anglicised" when the family went abroad? Have you tried searching for that name in the Scottish records?

I have tried looking for name variations, but there's so many Moore's/Muirs etc i haven't been able to narrow it down yet. Also my grandmother always said the name was origanlly O'Moore & then changed to Mooro at some stage, just to confuse matters even more!

Thanks for your answers, I just can't seem to find Charles or his family anywhere in Scotland & it's very frustrating!

What year was he born? 
What is the document you have posted?

The document is Francis Henry Moore's Birth Cert. Charles Henry MOORE is the father & i'm trying to figure out where he is from, so I can find His birth cert. Here's the whole document
