I *think* he was still married when he wed Jane, I can’t find any record of his divorce & both are listed as Widows on the marriage cert.
His first wife marries twice again having another 4-5 children with 3rd husband (after 11 to George!)

It’s definitely the daughter - Gladys Ernestina. I have read she came to live with George & Jane Church in Coolup.
Ernestina (the mother died young)
Perhaps that’s why she went to live with her grandfather

Yes, I have quite a bit of info on her first husband Thomas Forgrave Moore who died at Dunwich

Great suggestion re: family the reading for the move to WA

I only know of her having one brother. One source says they were twins, another lists William born the year before in 1864

Hi Roots Chatters
I am looking for information on my Great great Grandmother Jane Church (previously Moore - nee Neville) 1865-1956

She was born in County Armagh Ireland in 1865. In 1885, at the age of 20 she sailed SOLO to Australia on the Duke of Sutherland. What a journey that must have been - 2 months in transit!

She married Thomas Moore in Brisbane in 1891 & had 2 daughters Sarah Ann (my great grandmother) & Martha Ellen.

Both Thomas & Ellen died within 2 years.

Sometime from 1895-1903 Jane & Sarah move to Coolup WA where she marries George William Edward Church

I have seen a few posts about George Church which have filled in a few blanks - thank you to Ian Church & another post I think George’s Great-great grandchild (I can’t remember the user name I’m sorry)

I am keen to know

How/why Jane moved to WA?
How Jane & George met?

& ANY info on Gladys Ernestina Church (George’s granddaughter) & Irene Ethel Moore (Jane’s granddaughter) who lived with them in Coolup

I am happy to help any others with information
Thanks for reading
Jo

I’m not sure if anyone will receive notification of this comment as it is now 2025 & I am not even sure if this forum is still active.
I have a fair bit of information on Jane Church (born Jane Neville, married Thomas Moore in 1891 - he passed away in 1894)
Jane marries George Church in Pinjarra in 1903

I am keen to chat to anyone with more info
Jane is my great-great grandmother
